I am excited to be heading up the Junior Section of West London Track and Field, running athletics sessions indoors for children aged 7-11. WLTF Juniors will teach young athletes the fundamentals of Athletics (running, jumping, and throwing) through a bespoke, child friendly programme, which I have devised with Team GB coaches. This exciting new programme will start on Monday 30th October, at Lightwater Leisure Centre.

​

As a parent myself, my motivation for launching the Junior Athletics programme came from my own experiences of watching my children standing in long lines, waiting for a turn, or even worse, sat down for 5 minutes at a time in a coaching session. So many parents I have spoken to have been equally frustrated with waiting lists, age restrictions, and unnecessary 'trials' in a sport which is should be so attractive to youngsters. These are some of the issues that have motivated me to launch West London Track & Field Juniors.

​

I am looking forward to providing a consistently high quality coaching service that will introduce children to the key concepts of running, throwing and jumping, and inspire them to get involved in Athletics. These fundamentals can be transferred to movement skills used in many other sports.
