Amager Atletik Club invites 12- to 13-year-olds to year-round athletics training. Each session opens with warm-up, stretching and coordination exercises, which may feel tricky at first but get easier with practice.
The main part of the session covers the disciplines set by the coaches, usually two per session, such as shot put and sprints. Many exercises are built around play, for example a relay weaving between cones with bean bags. Training ends with a game, and the club puts strong emphasis on good company, so the sessions are meant to be fun and friendly.
