Woking AC Academy


Woking A.C. Academy has been established to promote the sport of athletics amongst all its members and to create an environment within which the athletes will improve and develop skills to enable a good and acceptable standard of participation and achievement.  The Academy is NOT a place to gain fitness for other sports.

Young Sports Team of the Year 2017

 

The Woking AC Academy is the section of the Club which caters for children aged 9 to 11 years.  Training is on Monday evenings from 6.30pm-8pm all year round, except for bank holidays and the month of September, when all members take a short break, before re-commencing with winter training in October.

We follow the UK Athletics 365 training programme (there is plenty of info on their website).  It gives all athletes the skills to pursue any discipline they like without too much specification or over-training for any single activity.

Members are expected to compete for the Club, and there are cross-country races, Sportshall Indoor competitions and Quadkids track & field, so there is plenty to join in with.

The entry system for the Academy involves a ‘trial’ for everyone on the waiting list who is aged 9, 10 or 11, but has not yet reached their 12th birthday.  These events are held no more than twice a year and involve sprinting, running, jumping and throwing elements.
