YAC has been running for over 10 highly successful years. Previously run at Wellington College, nearly a thousand young athletes have enjoyed happy weeks away creating memories whilst making new friends in a safe & encouraging environment. Our young athlete camps are run by camp directors Kerry Newell & Richard Coates. Kerry is an England Athletics Tutor, Club Run coach and has worked as part of the English masters marathon team. She currently coaches a teens 800m squad four times a week at her local athletic club. Richard works extensively with runners on a 1 to 1 basis and with young athletes in other sports to improve their running skills. He actively encourages youth participation in sport via gyms and bouldering centres he's involved in too. As very experienced UKA Coaches used to working with athletes of all ages, they always do their utmost to deliver the best experience possible for young athletes attending. Their own experience as parents with highly active children (Kerry - Mille, 14, Martha, 12 & Richard - Lauren, 19 Ethan, 16) can reassure you that your child / children will be in the best possible hands.
