Train with us

As you have seen, we have an impressive group of Coaches who can offer athletes training in a wide range of events.

For Primary School children, we offer a programme of circuit training in the winter and track and field work in the summer. This is an opportunity to experience the elements of run, jump and throw in a fun and safe environment, learning the need to prepare for exercise and the correct techniques for improvement.  Some of the older Fundamentals will go on to compete in local competitions. Dates & times for Fundamentals are included on the Home Page.

For Junior and Senior athletes, we run circuit training in the winter along with training at the Antrim Stadium throughout the year (check dates and time on the Home Page).

If you would like to join us, whatever your level of ability and commitment, please do come along to one of our training sessions and see what we have to offer.
