Aviva Parallel Success Coach and Athlete Talent Introduction Days

Guillaume — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 08:15:59 +0000

With the GB Athletics team having a successful Paralympics there has been a rise in coaches wanting to coach disabled athletes. A number of coaches have commented that they were amazed by the talent we have in Britain and they were also amazed at how many medals the team won. It has been a great inspiration to us all and the desire for a great legacy has increased by a vast amount.

This year we have a number of great workshops for Coaches including Adapting Physical Preparation Activities for Physically Disabled Athletes, classification workshops and a ‘Learn to Run’ workshop from Limbpower. This particular workshop is aimed at leg amputees and will provide information and practical experience for coaches and athletes.

During each of these days there will also be an informal throws workshop for coaches and their athletes. This workshop doesn’t need to be booked but if you are wanting to attend please register your athlete by using the Athlete invitation letter attached in this email.

Coaches are invited to all 3 Coach and Athlete Talent ID Days so please feel free to tick all of the boxes. Also if you are attending the 28^th October session please return your form as soon as possible. A plan of the day will be sent to all registered coaches prior to the date in question.

Many thanks and hope to see you there!

Disability Athletics training Day

michelle — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 15:47:12 +0000

After the success of the Disability athletics training days before the Summer Holidays NOTAN in conjunction with North Tyneside Council was delighted to arrange some new sessions.

The first was held at Churchill Playing Fields on Sunday 30th September. There was a great turnout and everyone had a lovely time. It was fantastic to see so many new faces. The success of the Paralympic Games may have had something to do with this.

Not only did the young athletes start training we had a Dad involved and some siblings which makes in a great day for the whole family. Everyone got to choose to run jump or throw and then swap after lunch if they wanted to. Some decided to stick with what they were enjoying and may choose something else to do at the next session.

We will be meeting on the 28th October, but don’t worry if the weather is bad we will go to Whitley Bay High School instead.
