Athletics

 

Athletics is consistently Britain's most successful sport on the international stage. England Athletics acknowledges the potential impact that the Sport Across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Partnership will have on continuing this trend. Star:track acts as a full introduction to athletics for 8-13 year olds, regardless of ability, gender or ethnic background.

 

The Star:track Challenge has been introduced specifically to provide the opportunity for young people (7-12 year olds) involved in the Norwich Union Star:track scheme to receive a Norwich Union shine:award. The young Athletics League provides track and field competition for 11-16 year olds and has seen many of todays senior athletes pass through it's ranks.
