STREET ATHLETICS - BROADGREEN
COMING TO BROADGREEN, SWINDON ON WEDNESDAY 29th JULY 2009 12.30-5pm
EVERYONE IS WELCOME - see details below:
Street Athletics is a very simple and highly effective community focussed youth engagement programme created by Olympic Gold Medallists Linford Christie and Darren Campbell. The programme is targeted at disengaged, disaffected, low self esteem young people aged under 20.
It targets youngsters who are not engaged in mainstream sports.
Linford and Darren are at each Street Athletics event to encourage local people to get involved. The main element of the programme is a 60m sprint, where any young person can participate. This results in a series of Finals where the top three boys and girls in each age group (U13/15/17/20) are invited to attend the Grand Final.
In addition to the 60m sprints, Street Athletics offers young people the opportunity to showcase their musical/dance talents in front of their peers in their own Boroughs and potentially at the Street Athletics Final.
