The workshop is designed to give an introduction to leading athletics activities for young / developing athletes. It aims to provide the theory of delivery whilst offering the attendee opportunities to lead activities from a range of task cards (which form part of the resource available following the workshop).

The practical sessions are initially tutor-led, however as much opportunity as possible will be given throughout the workshop for attendees to experience the key elements of leading for themselves.

Volunteers will be given a resource to use in the club that includes detailed Task Cards that they should use under the supervision of a fully qualified coach.
