Tony Menzies, the organiser at Bracknell Athletic Club, invites athletes of all ages and skill levels to join their community in Bracknell. The club offers programmes for beginners to Olympic-level athletes, ensuring there's something for everyone.
For youngsters in school years 4-6, Tony oversees a termly Young Athlete programme based on the England Athletics 365 model. This includes fundamental athletic training and in-house Quad Kid competitions.
As athletes move into secondary school, they can become annual members, joining specialised groups focusing on sprints, hurdles, throws, jumps, and middle distance. Members in this category have seen success in local leagues and on international stages, from the Commonwealth Games to the Olympics.
Tony also ensures a supportive environment for high-performing athletes. Some of them and their coaches participate in England Athletics's National schemes and have secured sporting scholarships at UK and US universities.
Coaches at Bracknell Athletic Club are licensed by England Athletics, with thorough security checks and safeguarding training. Many have been recognised for their contributions to the sport.
For anyone looking to join, Tony Menzies encourages you to step into Bracknell AC. Compete, train, or just be part of a supportive athletic community. Visit the website or get in touch to learn more.
