Other Schools and Club programmes:

England Athletics strongly believes in an inclusive approach and that the quality of experience a

young person receives in both the school and club environment is crucial to retaining them in the

sport. With this in mind, we have been working in close partnership with Sportshall Athletics and

QuadKids over the past few years to provide a comprehensive development plan which covers

skills, awards and competition in schools, clubs and community environments. Both these

modified formats offer a multi-skills approach which we believe is essential in athlete development

and can easily be adapted to include disabled athletes.

Athletics 365 is a multi-event, development programme for 8–15 year-olds which introduces

athletes to the fundamental skills of athletics (vital to every sport). Athletics 365 focuses on

developing the technical skills required to realise full potential and reinforces the importance

of a good all round skill base. In addition to technical skills, Athletics 365 also looks at an athlete’s

physical, mental and emotional development, as well as their lifestyle and social development.

The Athletics 365 programme is broken down into nine progressive stages with each stage

providing athletes with new and progressively more difficult challenges appropriate to their

stage of development.

Run in England is a community based running project which gives everyone an opportunity to

get active and begin running for fun and fitness. Supported by Sport England, we are delivering

community running groups across the whole of England.

Delivered by the Run in England team, Run in England 3-2-1 is a community based initiative

where we work with schools and local councils to provide safe measured courses in school

grounds, parkland and open spaces. It isn’t about races or times; it’s about participation for

all and offers support for complete novices. For more information please visit
