We have a new team and a new agenda for this exciting camp, which takes place from Sunday 22 through to Thursday 26 July. Yes… right up to the day before the opening ceremony of the greatest show on earth; the 2012 London Olympics. What better way to spend the week leading up to the Olympic Games than an action packed week of fun filled training and learning which, we hope, will inspire young athletes to go on and become the very best they can be.
Who is it for?
The camp is aimed at all athletes aged 12-18 and will give them a full training experience while supporting their development as an athlete. We aim to educate about many different aspects of being an athlete but maintain an emphasis on fun with plenty of time to relax and enjoy the wonderful facilities in this beautiful location. All coaches are UKA qualified with full CRB checks and we have qualified a teacher heading up the Pastoral care on the camp. We are committed to providing responsible coaching, encouraging young athletes to learn and develop in a safe and friendly environment.
What’s on the agenda?
A mix of practical training sessions and inter-active seminars about all aspects of life as an athlete, including:
- Hill running
- Developing speed endurance
- What is anaerobic training?
- Nutrition
- Stretching and injury prevention
- Mental preparation
- Skills and drills
- Rest and recovery
- Planning your year
In addition we’ll have a full range of supervised activities such as swimming, games and other fun group activities
