Attention Radley AC coaches
It is with regret that the flying coach visit planned for this coming Saturday will need to be cancelled and rearranged.
Unfortunately Mark, the visiting coach, has some unforeseen family issues which will prevent his attendance.
This will be rearranged in the New Year and we will of course advise you of the new date in due course.

The coach Development Day will include two hour workshops focusing on winter training for five disciplines; high Jump, sprints, heavy throws, hurdles and middle distance. Open to all coaches. Coaches may bring any U17/U20 athletes with them as the day will also provide athletes wishing to take part in next year’s National Junior league with an opportunity to train together.
