Olympic Legacy – Help!
Athletics clubs throughout the country, including Lewes AC, have been inundated with membership enquires following the success of the London Olympics.
Together with increased interest following our programme of after school clubs the junior waiting list at Lewes AC has leapt to 150.
The club has reached capacity on its Tuesday club night (no track space)
We are now looking at the feasibility of starting groups on other nights and also the weekends. The track is available but we need help!
Have you been inspired to help the next generations of Olympians?
We are holding at Lewes (date to be confirmed) a basic level coaching course. The course will qualify you to assist one of the club coaches and is the first step to becoming a stand alone coach.
To expand we will need many more coaches, officials and helpers.
We also need help for the ever expanding adult’s running group where new running leaders are required to lead groups. The Leader in Running Fitness (LiRF) course gives you the expertise to lead a group and the necessary insurances.
To keep going as we are we still need more help!
