All Around Athlete Development Programme

Another lively session with talented sports stars of the future!

Three years ago local sports pupils were identified in an All Around Athlete Development Programme in a partnership between the University of Bath and Richard Huish College, Taunton.

Since then the programme has continued with the athletes meeting once a month at the College. The aim of the programme is to maximise the athletes ability in their chosen sports which include  trampolining, cricket, football, athletics, and double mini trampoline.  The programme also enables talented athletes from different sports and backgrounds to share experiences from their activities.

Tonight we have been doing some Olympic lifting technique, looking at power cleans, at which they all did fantastically well with a complex skill.

Hopefully the skill set they develop will enable them to continue with their progress in their sport for now and the future.

Looking forward to next month and who knows someone may come up with a more exciting title for the programme!
