🏴‍☠️ Ahoy, mateys! What a fantastic weekend of pirate adventures at Mini Athletics Nottingham & Loughborough! ⚓💙

Our athletes had an incredible time climbing aboard, hunting for treasure, running, jumping and completing all of our pirate challenges. There were smiles, laughter and so much energy from start to finish! 🏃‍♂️☠️🏴‍☠️

A very special congratulations goes to Leo, who graduated from Mini Athletics last weekend after celebrating his 8th birthday! 🎉👏

Leo has been an absolute pleasure to coach, and it’s been amazing to watch him grow in confidence, develop his athletic skills and become such a brilliant role model in our classes. We’re incredibly proud of everything he has achieved and know he’ll go on to do great things.

Thank you for being part of the Mini Athletics family, Leo. We wish you the very best on your next adventure—you’ll always be part of the Mini Athletics family! 💙

Please join us in congratulating Leo in the comments below! 👏🎉

🏃‍♀️ “Train arms!” “Tippy toes!” 🏃‍♂️

If you’ve ever been to one of our Mini Athletics sessions in Nottingham or Loughborough, you’ll have heard these cues over and over! 💙💛

They’re not just fun phrases—they help our young athletes build great running technique in a way that’s easy to understand.

💪 “Train arms” reminds children to pump their arms forwards and backwards, helping them stay balanced, move faster, and generate more power.

🦶 “Tippy toes” encourages them to stay light on their feet, helping them run with quicker, more efficient strides instead of heavy, flat-footed steps.

By using simple, child-friendly language, we help little athletes develop confidence, coordination, and strong movement skills while having lots of fun!

What’s your child’s favourite coaching cue? Let us know in the comments! 👇

There’s something special about taking our Mini Athletics classes outdoors! 🌳☀️

The extra space gives children more freedom to run, jump, throw and explore while building their confidence, coordination and athletic skills. Being outside also helps keep sessions fresh, exciting and full of energy, with plenty of opportunities for fun games and challenges.

Whether we’re in Nottingham or Loughborough, we love seeing our young athletes enjoying the fresh air, making new friends and staying active in a positive environment.

Outdoor sessions are a fantastic reminder that exercise doesn’t have to happen inside a sports hall – the world around us can be the perfect playground for learning and development!

After a couple of our favourite themed games, it’s time for one of the highlights of every session – the running races! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💨

Our mini athletes absolutely love the chance to head outdoors at Gresham Sports Park, West Bridgford, where they can really show their true speed, determination, and growing confidence. There’s nothing better than watching them sprint, giving it their all while wearing huge smiles from start to finish! 😃

These races are about so much more than being the fastest. They’re a fantastic way for children to build confidence, develop athletic skills, learn perseverance, and most importantly, have lots of fun with their friends.

Well done to all our amazing mini athletes for their effort and enthusiasm every week! 🌟
