Some of our coaches are keen athletes themselves. David Rafter (on the far left of the picture) even took part in the London Marathon this year!

Hi I'm David. I started with the club 12 years ago when my daughters began to take part, at first I was just a helper and now I have a level 2 sprints coach qualification. I also coach throws and jumps when needed too. I don't compete myself but I find it very rewarding watching the younger athletes progressing and competing.

Hi, I'm Jamie and I've been at the club since I was a 14 year old athlete which makes it 12 years as a member now! I love to throw, especially shott and discus but having been a club member from young I have some knowledge in most if not all events. I like to coach older kids because they can take more detailed instruction but also the younger ones as their enthusiasm is amazing. I like how we train as a team but compete as an individual, you can only get back what you put in.
