  Speed-Power Academy - Term 4

  

  Athletics NI, in partnership with Ulster University - aim to bridge the gap between their Rising Stars and Youth Academy initiatives by creating an environment for young athletes (aged 15-21) to supplement their current training with appropriate speed development and physical preparation sessions.

  We aim to build robust young athletes with physical competency, good sprint mechanics and elasticity to help them fulfil their athletic potential. We aim to expose young athletes and their coaches to what we believe to be best practice athletic development sessions and increase the number of athletes exposed to content designed for Athletics NI's Youth Academy.

  We hope that this will increase the level of athlete emerging to enter Youth Academy and Ulster University Athletics Club in future years.

  Speed-Power Academy - Term 4 (Friday Option) will begin on Friday 19th July 2019 (7 weeks) based at the Jordanstown Campus for a maximum of 20 selected atheltes.
