Coaching Structure

Attention all Track and Field Athletes

Please find below important information regarding the coaching structure for the club. This has been discussed and agreed by all the active coaches to improve clarity of our coaching set-up. It is intended to have four main groupings:

• Induction
• Transfer
• Development
• Performance

The intention is to have athletes grouped by academic years, but with the more able and experienced athletes able to move up if the athlete wishes and both sets of coaches agree. The initial change is due to happen immediately after Easter. Thereafter, movement will normally occur at the start of the new academic year. So please familiarise yourself with the new structure, ask any questions you may have, and please fill in the questionnaire that will be made available separately seeking your preferences in terms of events.
