New Elevating Athletics resource packs have been sent to all schools in England via the School Sports Partnerships network. Extra packs can be purchased from the UKA online website. http://www.ukashop.co.uk/products.asp?cat=0
In addition, a new set of courses has been developed for primary and secondary schools teachers. These 6 hour courses can be delivered to a maximum of 24 participants as a one day course. The cost is £450 payable to England Athletics Ltd. The courses are designed to take place on school sites and include a mix of presentations and practical sessions.
At present the first option is for local School Sports Partnerships or other organisations to book a complete course although we are planning to run courses which individuals can book onto directly in the future.
Utilising the free Elevating Athletics resouce packs, the courses demonstrate progression across the age groups in generic and athletics specific running, jumping and throwing events.
