Improve your athletic ability and gain an understanding of all aspects of training. We look at the theory behind reaching peak performance and the steps an athlete takes to lead a healthy lifestyle and enhance their progression. We meet at Withdean once a week to train. For four hours a week, students in the academy will experience coaching in their own event(s), and events that they may not have considered before. Throughout the year we aim to compete as a team, as well as entering school competitions and open meetings as individuals, to gain entry into county and national competitions such as English Schools. The Newman athletics team competes in the local independent schools Diamond league - the only state school to compete. We now hold records in discus, 800, 1500 and we have the 4x100m relay record, as well as a new record for long jump!
