The most important thing to bring is enthusiasm! Athletics is fun, and our training includes games and competitions to stimulate and challenge everyone. Athletes are encouraged to take part in the various sports leagues in the summer, and the MABAC cross-country league. Athletes should be prepared to “have a go” at anything; the emphasis at this level is to encourage all-round fitness and ability rather than training for one particular event.
We cater for all standards from beginners to the very able, and specialist coaching sessions are available within the club for athletes who wish to take their skills further. Club Juniors have gone on to represent Surrey and England.
