As part of our training nights during the Indoor & Outdoor Seasons, the Club runs the Little Athletics Programme for younger children aged between 5 & 8 years. This programme consists of a one hour slot where the children can develop their athletic fundamentals - agility, balance and co-ordination in a fun and non competitive environment. Little Athletics is a programme designed by Athletics Ireland to address the specific physical requirements of children between 5 and 10 years of age. This is a time in a child\'s life that is vital to their long term physical development. Improving their fundamental skills in agility, co-ordination and balance will contribute greatly to future sporting achievements and an all-round healthier lifestyle. Little Athletics focuses on introducing the basics of athletic movement in a fun, exciting and non-competitive environment and uses fun and games to develop fitness. Under the supervision of our trained Athletic Leaders, props such as hurdles, obstacles, foam javelins and hula hoops are used to encourage running, jumping, hopping and throwing.
