Training groups

Whichever event you are interested in, the club provides free coaching on a weekly basis. Some groups get together more than once a week, meeting up at the weekend, to take part in competitions or just to train. Whatever your level of commitment there is a place for you.Coaching is provided for the following events

  • Track events for all ages
  • Javelin, discus, shot and hammer throwing
  • Distance/middle distance running

For junior members, dedicated coaches offer a wide-ranging introduction to athletics which continues throughout the year.And, if you want to meet a group of joggers to keep you company you will find them. Men and women of all ages and abilities run together for fun; most of them are not chasing gold medals!If you have never been a member of an athletics club before do not be deterred. One visit to a club evening on Tuesday or Thursday will demonstrate that not all members are finely tuned athletes.

Important information regarding junior coaching groups ages 7 to 10 years.Please note, coaching groups for the age range 7 to 10 are currently at capacity and we now have a waiting list. If you would like to apply to be added to the list please telephone us on 0161-476-0009, leave a message and we will contact you.For other training enquiries please contact the appropriate coach from the information below, call at the Woodbank Stadium between 18.30 and 20.00 on Monday to Thursday or leave a message on 0161-476-0009 and we will contact you.
