Sprint Hurdles Lee Valley Coach & Athl;ete Development Days |
I’m pleased to let you have advance details of sprint hurdles sessions that will be advertised on the England Athletics website next week. These sessions for coaches & athletes will be held at Lee Valley on the same dates at the 300mH / 400m H squads namely :
Sunday 29 November 2009
Saturday 2 January 2010
Saturday 13 February 2010
Sunday 14 March 2010
The time will however be from 10.30am to 2.30pm and Brian Hopkins and myself will coordinate our respective sessions at LVAC on those days so that we can mutually co-exist! Julie Pratt, former World Junior Champion & Commonwealth Games finalist, will be supporting me at these sessions.
These sessions are for U15s athletes upwards to seniors who have grasped the basics of three stride hurdling but are not suitable for beginners – beginner hurdles coaches however (with or without athletes) are more than welcome to come and a hands-on participation is expected. Athletes will be required to pre-register with me and (at least initially until this programme is established) it may be necessary to restrict numbers to a manageable level, and to avoid any one age group dominating.
Please pass this onto athletes and other coaches who may be interested. If you plan to attend please get in touch with me as I’ll wish to collect some contact details from you please.
Any queries get in touch (e-mail preferred).
Tony Benton
(former England Athletics East Region Hurdles Coordinator)
