Evolving coaching for the future: a new chapter for athletics in England

England Athletics, working with other Home Country Athletics Federations and UK Athletics, has spent the last nine months thoroughly reviewing the coaching pathway and structure across the UK. This comprehensive review, informed by surveys, stakeholder analysis, and literature, marks a significant step forward for athletics coaching.

Vision Group created to review participation

As part of the ongoing, wide-reaching review into participation in track and field, the Home Country Athletics Federations (HCAFs) are pleased to confirm the culmination of the first phase of research, and the formation of an independent group assembled to work through the research findings. Off the back of this phase of the review, a Vision Group – co-chaired by Steve Cram and Steve Smith – has now been assembled, and asked to use the benefit of their experience and insight to suggest key principles that the sport may be able to adopt going forward, in order to increase participation.
