With the London 2012 Olympics just around the corner, a small group of coaches from Blackheath and Bromley Harriers AC have created an initiative to introduce and promote Athletics in the community. The 'Athletics in the Park' initiative will commence on 30th July 2009 until 30th August 2009, and will take place on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday mornings. The initiative will take place in 6 parks across the London Borough of Bromley including Biggin Hill Recreation Ground, Petts Wood Recreation Ground, and Croydon Road Recreation Ground.
The aim of the initiative is to provide free 90 minute taster sessions in the local parks for children aged between 8 and 12, offering them a chance to experience most skills and events associated with athletics, including; runs, jumps, and throws!
Following success within the London Borough of Bromley, the 'Athletics in the Park' initiative aims to expand next summer; incorporating more London Boroughs, further spreading the word of athletics on the road to London 2012.
If you or your child are interested in the 'Athletics in the Park' initiative please do not hesitate to call for details regarding dates, venues, or meeting points: Rachel Blackie 07738820598 Lauren Blackie 07891562411
