nylonmeals Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 My son's school has suggested that we find an athletics club for him. They don't have anything like that at his school. He is young (year 2) but loves running and seems very fast. I think he'd really enjoy something like this, does anyone have any local recommendations? Many thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/132962-kids-athletics-club/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
INMCD Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 My daughter goes to South London Harriers. They train at Crystal Palace. I'm not sure what age they take them from (she's 13) but my son, who's in Year 4, has joined in a few times when we've gone to watch. I don't know of any other clubs around. Their email address is www.southlondonharriers.org.Niamh x Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/132962-kids-athletics-club/#findComment-1077371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSB Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hello nylonmeals : ) I suspect that the guys who organise the junior park run in Brockwell park (which is great fun btw) might know of other running/athletics clubs. Worth asking them maybe? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/132962-kids-athletics-club/#findComment-1077481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zobellina Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Crystal Palace Sports Centre does athletics on a Saturday morning and an evening a week. They have a wide range of age groups. My daughter enjoyed it when she was in years, 3 to 4. http://www.better.org.uk/facilities-and-activities/lessons-and-courses/athletics-lessons Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/132962-kids-athletics-club/#findComment-1077762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs TP Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Defo echo a thumbs up for Crystal Palace Sat morning athletic classes. The coaches, Roy and Judi are amazing. They teach technique and take them from quite young. That for a couple of years would be fab and then something like South London Harriers who also train at CP and a route into competitions.
