Thank you to everyone who made it to the information evenings over the past few weeks and for the continued support from everyone who has circulated the information to their students. It was great to see such a large turnout at Marling last night from Stroud High School. We look forward to hopefully working with you in September!

A special thanks also to the staff at Marling and St. Peter’s Schools who have been absolutely fantastic in helping to organise assemblies, taster sessions/lessons, fete stalls and the info evenings.

We’ve also met some fantastic young athletes over the last week or so that have shown a real enthusiasm for the training we’ve delivered. Hopefully we will see you all at the camps over the Summer Holidays or at the Athlete Academy sometime soon.
