Full-time Package

Athletes that would like to gain their full training experience with us, technical event training, speed, strength and conditioning work. Athletes can access up to 4 sessions a week including a combination or track and gym training.
We work with athletes to set a competition plan and design their training around this so that they can peak at the ideal time. Athletes also have unlimited access to physiotherapy support for any niggles or injuries they may have.

Part-time Package

Athletes who either have their own coach and would like to come to BSC to add to their training provision maybe utilising our strength and conditioning and physiotherapy support whilst doing their track work with their original coach.

This provision is tailored to the individual and will usually include 2 training sessions per week with us.

Part time athletes could also be those that would like to give athletics a go recreationally, these athletes can access 2-3 training sessions per week to suit their timetables and needs.

All part time athletes also have physiotherapy support should they need it for any injuries.
