Fundamental Fitness and Athletics

By teaching and refining the six key fundamental movements: running, jumping, throwing, striking, kicking, and catching. These movements are the building blocks of athletics and are essential for success in any sport or physical activity.

Fundamental Fitness & Athletics For Kids aims to create a positive and inclusive environment where children can enjoy physical activity and develop their skills. The programme welcomes children of all abilities and backgrounds, with the goal of helping each child become a healthier, more confident individual through fitness and athletics.

The training centres are located in and around the Reading area and serve as the training and competition hub for the youth top league team, Reading Athletics Clubs junior section. Additionally, the programme works in partnership with local schools and youth sporting groups to extend its reach and impact.

The sessions are led by Charlotte Webb, a Level 2 qualified UKA coach, who collaborates closely with Reading Athletics Club. Charlotte is supported by a team of qualified UKA coaches, including former Olympic and national level athletes, who deliver group training sessions. The coaches are DBS cleared to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants.
