🔵 Summer of Sport 🔵
Last year one of our sponsors, Dartford Borough Council, generously gave us a grant to invest in young children within our community.
We used the money to set up a programme to invite local children who are not currently club members to train at our facilities. They trained with our coaches and alongside current young athletes from both Dartford Harriers AC and Central Park Athletics.
This opportunity was hugely successful and we are hopeful to run this, or similar, again.
The children taking part got to participate in long jump, high jump, shot put, running of various distances as well as learning the correct way to warm up and cool down.
Some of the children have gone on to become full club members and enjoy regular training sessions and even competed for the club in competitions!
Due to a very long waiting list we unfortunately can not accept all children into the club but this allowed us to sign up as many as we could but also give the others the opportunity to train and even make new friends.
Thank you Dartford Council and Dartford Big Local! 💙🩵
