Juniors Training

Fun, Fitness & Friendship

At Burnley Athletic Club, our Junior Development section is where the athletic journey begins. Following the England Athletics 365 programme, we focus on building fundamental movement skills in a structured, safe, and most importantly fun environment.

Our qualified UK Athletics coaches focus on multi-skill development, meaning every child gets to try every event and discover what they love.
