South West Athletics Academy

Overview

We offer athletics coaching and a range of activities are available for disabled individuals and groups. We have experience of working at many events and have worked with children and adults to have a go at developing skills and co-ordination, through to performance athletes working towards Paralympic events. We have a number of groups at Exeter on Monday nights between 7–8pm at Exeter Arena and a Wednesday from 5-6pm, Our inclusive groups are an open session with any age and any ability athlete welcome (no previous experience is necessary). All of our activities are fully inclusive – anyone of any ability. You can just turn up and pay on the door. We also run specific disability days and events - just contact us if you are interested.
