Amager Atletik Club invites 14- and 15-year-olds to year-round athletics training. Each session opens with warm-up, stretching and coordination exercises, which take a few tries to get the hang of but come more easily over time.
The main part of the session covers the disciplines set by the coaches, usually two per session, such as shot put and sprints. Training is kept fun, and many drills are built around games, for example a relay weaving between cones with bean bags. The session usually ends with a game, and the club puts real emphasis on the social side, so it is a place to hang out with friends as well as train.
