Young Athletes

On the 12^th of October 50 children took part in my Winter Challenge with 5 different events to complete, as normal this wouldn't have happened without the extra help from parents so a big thank you to Jan Welsh, Kate Andrews, Nicola Fleetham, Alan Fleetham, Susan Raw and as always my coaching assistants Diane, Hannah, Sharon and David. The children really enjoyed the events and everyone completed each event at least once. We will be working on the skills needed to improve everyone's results over the winter.

The 5 events are also all part of the Sporthall competition that is used by the schools and will be used in our Network competition, which is due to be held on the 8^th of January at Sedgefield, for children aged 9 and above (as at 21^st January) to a maximum age of 11 (as at 31 August 2012).

As you may already be aware, due to the size of my group growing to 70 children, the Year 5s are now working with Ean and Christine outside on a Wednesday night or they have the option of indoor training with Scott on a Monday night at 6pm to 7pm.

The results for everyone's Academy Awards will be posted on Junior Results page in the next couple of weeks.

I'm planning a Christmas special team competition for our last training night before Christmas, which will be on the 21^st of December, any parents who like to come along and help out please let me know.
