Under 11s athletics in clubs
Our programme introduces children under 11 to track and field in a fun and welcoming environment. Perfect for England Athletics affiliated clubs, funetics offers a free licence to help your club expand their junior sections, attract new members, and build the profile of athletics. funetics provides a comprehensive pathway for young athletes to develop fundamental movement skills and develop a lifelong love for the sport.
Under 11s athletics in the community
Our programme supports all children to realise their potential, regardless of background or ability. funetics activities can take place in a huge range of settings such as parks, community venues and schools, ensuring accessibility across the country. We give local organisations the tools to launch funetics programmes tailored to their community's needs, providing comprehensive training, resources, and ongoing support.
funetics multi-challenge
England Athletics is launching an exciting new competition format, funetics multi-challenge, to encourage more regular, age-appropriate opportunities for primary school aged children to compete in athletics. With pilot competitions being planned and delivered by a number of clubs and associations across the country, clubs and athletics associations can still be part of the pilot phase.
Activities at home
We believe in the importance of developing fundamental movement skills early on, both in school and at home. Our engaging activities, supported by our Home School Pack, Activity Cards and fun videos, give families the tools they need to learn and play together. Whether you're running, jumping or throwing, funetics ensures children stay active, healthy, and happy while discovering the joy of movement.
