With the Olympics just around the corner and our very own Jeremiah Azu due to take to the stage in the men's 100m sprint and 100m relay, this summer is a great opportunity to inspire children to get active and take part in Athletics.

In partnership with A.F. Blakemore and SPAR we are running eight Startng Blocs Summer Camps. The camps cost £15 for 5-6 hours and include a free packed lunch for every child.

Aimed at children aged 4 - 12 years old, Starting Blocs is a fun and exciting physical literacy program to introduce children to the sport of athletics. Children learn the key movement skills needed for a life in sport, in a safe and positive environment, through games that are designed to teach children the foundations of running, jumping and throwing.

The Starting Blocs Summer Camps will take place on the following dates and locations:

• 29 - 31 July, 9am – 3pm at Merthyr College
• 29 - 31 July, 10am – 3pm at Cardiff and Vale College, Butetown
• 5 – 7 August, 9am – 3pm at Ron Jones Stadium, Aberdare
• 5 – 7 August, 10am – 3pm at Cardiff and Vale College, Butetown
