Local Athletics Clubs - Vicki (10th Jul 2012 - 19:00:46) Is anyone aware of an athletics club locally suitable for 12 year olds? Would need to include training rather than just road running. My son has developed quite a turn of speed in the 100m and is loving 1000m at school! Thanks.

Re: Local Athletics Clubs - Veronica (18th Jul 2012 - 23:42:16) Have you had any luck with your research? My 12 yr daughter has had some impressive achievements in the 100m this year and my 11yr son in the longer distances, and was thinking of getting them both into an athletics club!

Re: Local Athletics Clubs - Jane G (19th Jul 2012 - 09:21:09) Have you tried Haslemere running club (not sure of their official name) but I understand they have a section for juniors and I believe they do training other than just road running?

Re: Local Athletics Clubs - John (19th Jul 2012 - 19:37:02) You could try Haslemere Border Athletics Club www.hbac.co.uk

Re: Local Athletics Clubs - Vicki (28th Jul 2012 - 10:54:37) Thanks for the suggestions! Unfortunately Haslemere currently have no groups between 11 years and adults. I have been told there is a club in Petersfield but I don't have the details yet. With the Olympics really feeding his enthusiasm I need to channel his inner 'Usain Bolt'!!!

Re: Local Athletics Clubs - matt (30th Jul 2012 - 07:54:10) You could try Petersfield Tri Club who are trying to get a junior section together.

Re: Local Athletics Clubs - Finchie (30th Jul 2012 - 07:57:14) We are very happy with City of Portsmouth Athletics Club. Phill Budd is the main man. Although it sounds like a trek, it's only 30 mins to Mountbatten (a fantastic facility). They train Tuesdays and compete Sundays. Have a couple of great sprint coaches. Perfect for your age. Cheers, Finchie
