Group 365
Funetics
(Under 10s)
Our introduction to athletics for those children in school years 3 and 4, aims to give children a fun, rounded grounding in athletics track and field. We use England Athletics resources and activities (Funetics) to provide a pathway for young athletes to develop fundamental movement skills and develop a lifelong love for the sport.

Run and lead by a group of Holland Sports Athletics Club seniors as well as keen parent volunteers, the group sets out to foster a love of sport as well as introduce young people to the wider benefits of being part of a thriving local, sports club.
Our Club Timetable shows when all our sessions take place and who to contact if you are interested in your child joining a group.
A typical session will involve a warm-up to get the major muscle groups ready for athletic activity. Young athletes will then typically undertake a series of activities and games to improve balance and help to build strength, agility, balance and co-ordination. The session will always focus on an aspect of athletics: running, jumping or throwing designed to give young athletes a well-rounded introduction to the different disciplines involved in track, field.
Please note: During the winter, Funetics sessions will take place in the Sportshall at Oxted County Secondary School. During the summer, sessions will normally be outside on the track unless the weather is poor or inclement, when we may be inside the Scout Hut (adjacent to the track) at Mill Lane in Hurst Green.
Athletes should bring suitable clothing for the weather and a water bottle.
Please note that changing facilities are fairly limited at the Mill Lane Track so athletes normally come ready changed for their session.
