Athletics is a great activity for children that provides a variety of benefits other than physical activity. Participation in athletics can help build self-esteem and confidence, can motivate children to excel academically and can help build social skills. Participation also can teach children the benefits of goal-setting and practice.

More importantly it is FUN.

Take a look at the links on the left for the different age groups that we cater for.
