Our U14 Monday sessions this autumn follow a structured 13-week programme running from 15 September through to 15 December 2026. Sprint development draws on the England Athletics 14+ Sprint Speed Plan, progressing from starts and acceleration through to race-model reps. Throws follow the Athletics 365 Purple–Blue stage progressions across shot put, javelin and discus rotating week by week so athletes develop competence in all three events. Every session is 60 minutes: 15 minutes warm-up, 20 minutes sprint block, 20 minutes throws block, 5 minutes cool-down.
