Training

Beginners: Children aged 8 – 11 years

For children new to athletics, Harrow AC runs a fun trial to assess speed, endurance, throwing and jumping.

The trial…

• Helps us to understand your child’s ability and needs
• Is conducted by one of our voluntary coaches
• May also be attended by our coaching assistants

Your child will have a lot of fun doing the trial and learn a lot about their athletic ability in the process. There’s nothing to lose so come along on a Monday!

From 11 November, the ‘Indoor Season’ will be upon us so BOOK NOW!

From November 11th, club training will move to indoor sessions at Harrow Leisure Centre.
