Avon Athletics Network

Promoting the sport of Athletics
in the Bath & North-East Somerset,
Bristol, North Somerset, and
South Gloucestershire areas.
What We Can Do, What We Can't

The Network is a support organisation, not a club or even an association of clubs. So there are some things we do, some things we don't do:

Things We Do (or might do)
  • Hold Event Development Days
    • These are mostly designed to benefit both athletes and coaches: in some cases, though, places for athletes will be by invitation only.
  •  
  • Develop links between schools, local authority sports initiatives, and clubs
  •  
  • (if invited) Discuss development possibilities with clubs, schools or other bodies
  •  
  • Provide opportunities for athletes in the 16-19 age range to begin to involve themselves in coaching and/or officiating
Things We Don't Do
  • Organise competitions
  •  
  • Organise courses leading to formal coaching qualifications
    • (England Athletics already provide these)
  •  
  • Direct athletes towards particular clubs
  •  
  • Provide or Train Officials
    • (although we may be able to provide financial support towards the cost of Officials training courses)
