Young Athletes

Godiva Youth

Our Youth Section is split into three different areas: Godiva Kids, Run Jump and Throw, and our main junior section.

Young athletes competing at a youth athletics event

Coventry Godiva Harriers has a proud tradition of developing young athletes. Our youth section caters for athletes from age 8 upwards across all disciplines — sprints, distance, jumps, throws, hurdles and multi-events.

Godiva Kids

Godiva Kids is our entry-level programme for younger children, introducing them to the fun of athletics in a safe, encouraging environment. Activities include running, jumping and throwing challenges designed to build fundamental movement skills.

Run, Jump & Throw

Run, Jump and Throw is a structured programme for young athletes to explore all three disciplines of athletics. Sessions are fun, varied and coached by qualified England Athletics coaches. Athletes progress through the programme at their own pace before joining the main junior training groups.

Junior Track & Field

Our main junior section provides structured coaching for athletes from Under 14 through to Under 20. Coaches work with athletes across all events, with many progressing to represent the club at county, regional and national level.
