Greerton Athletics

We're excited to launch a brand-new Athlete Development Programme for athletes aged 11–19 years.

During the final rotation of club night, athletes can choose to take part in a session focused on building the foundations for success in athletics and every other sport.

These sessions are designed to help athletes become stronger, faster, more confident movers while reducing injury risk and improving overall athletic performance.

This is an opt-in programme, so athletes who prefer not to participate can simply complete the standard club night rotation as usual.

Whether your goal is to sprint faster, jump higher, throw further, or simply become a better all-round athlete, this programme is for you. We can't wait to see our athletes grow!

If your child is keen to run, jump and throw in a fun, supportive club environment, we’d love to have you join us.

Looking for a sport that gives your child skills they can use in almost every other sport? Give athletics a go!

At Greerton Amateur Athletics Club, we develop the fundamental skills of running, jumping, and throwing while helping children and young people build speed, strength, coordination, agility, confidence and resilience.

Whether your child is brand new to sport, loves being active, or wants to take their performance to the next level, there’s a place for them.

Mini Club – Ages 3–6
Fun, age-appropriate activities where children learn through play, with parents and caregivers joining in.

Develop skills across running, jumping, and throwing, with regular opportunities to race, measure and celebrate personal bests.
