Play - Practice - Perform
LAA coach and assess technical proficiency using England Athletics‘ curriculum ‘Athletics365’ as well as our own LAA curriculum.
LAA athletes are offered competition opportunities for both indoors and outdoors but competition is not compulsory.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
LAA TRAINING
All athletes are coached in fundamental movement skills; agility, balance, and coordination. Coaches also use games to keep training fun and help athletes learn the technical aspects of all track and field events. The children are organized into groups depending on their age so that they can be coached more effectively. The groups are as follows:
-
Track Tots:
-
Building coordination and mobility skills through games and basic run-jump-throw.
-
-
Mini Academy:
-
Learn track etiquette, and increasing focus on run-jump-throw, and relays.
-
-
Junior Academy:
-
Learn warm-ups, running drills and are introduced to and are assessed on the technical aspects of all events. This group has opportunities to compete.
-
-
Under 13 Academy:

-
-

-
