In year 2 of the Network to date there have been 3 open coach development workshops delivered covering sprints, hurdles, jumps, nutrition and conditioning. 20 coaches, 2 athletics leaders and 38 athletes have attended these sessions. 3 endurance/marathon planning workshops have also been delivered covering training, nutrition, strength and conditioning and technique, with plenty of opportunity for Q and A.
A number of coaching courses have been organised to take place over the coming month, along with an officials course. Shared coaching between clubs has also taken place, in addition to flying coach visits.
Still to come in year 2 of the Network is a further endurance workshop, a coach development workshop (main focus will be pole vault), a QuadKids series, further development of the website and promotion of The Network, Run England initiatives, an Athlete 365 workshop and more! In order for this to continue into year 3 and beyond The Network needs to look at methods of sustainability – any thoughts/suggestions would be gratefully received – please contact Kate Davies on 07795 968036 or email networkcoordinator@hotmail.co.uk
