Marathon Sports Athletics Academy
What’s it about?
Students on the athletics programme will receive regular support for their specific athletics event in the form of specialist athletics coaching and individualised strength and conditioning programmes. Sessions take place in our outstanding athletics facilities and our fully equipped gyms. Several students have gone on to excel in county and national events and previous members include Jack Green, who represented Team GB at an Olympics.

Sessions are led by Nicola Plews and Darren Hatton. Both have extensive experience of athletics and they combine sport science knowledge with professional experience to provide an exceptional service to students on the course.
In order to qualify for selection onto this programme, students need to be fully committed to their athletics and competing regularly. In some cases, exceptions can be made if we feel a student has immense potential in their event.
The athletics academy can also be accessed by students competing at a high level in another sport not featured in our group of academies. Recently, we have provided places to American Footballers, trampolinists, boxers and several other sports.
