We welcome children from Year 5 and up (ages 9–10 on September 1st).

Our sessions run during term times and there are two intakes each year:

Post-Easter Holiday

Post-October Half-Term

If your child is passionate about athletics, we’d love to hear from you! When the waiting list is open, you’ll be able to register your interest online.

Once you’ve joined the list, we’ll contact you as soon as:
