Junior training is led by Kelly and Eric who are both qualified EA Athletic coaches.
These take place on Monday evenings at Wigmore High School playing field, from 5.30pm -6.30pm.
The sessions are built around physical conditioning, which looks at the fundamentals of movement and postural control. Also running technique, running in teams, obstacles, sprints and endurance running.
These sessions are mixed gender in two age groups, 8-11 and 12-16.
Numbers are limited, so please contact us before coming along.
All of the coaches at Croft Ambrey Running Club are DBS checked.
Please download and complete the CARC junior registration form, and return it to either Kelly or Eric before your childs first session together with the £32 annual membership fee.
