The Academy has recently completed it’s work with Active Dorset (Sport England) who run a pilot scheme for local children, gifted and talented in Multi Skills.  Our role was to run a total of three sessions during the school holidays that included basic performance assessments to include:  Agility, Balance, Co-ordination, Aerobic Fitness and basic strength and power.  All children who took part worked extremely hard and were a pleasure to train.

As an incentive to encourage the children to train outside of these sessions we promised a prize for the best trainer at the end of the last session.  With this in mind a large number of children worked harder and pushed themselves.  The results were there to be seen.  However sadly we could only chose one winner and crowned Thalia Norman the champion for her hard work and dedication during all three training sessions.  Thalia was presented with a one off YATA Sports Tshirt, a key ring and a free personal training session with the Academy.

Congratulations to all the children!

The Young Athletes Training Academy is pleased to announce a new contract set to start in September 09 with the Dorset Football Association. The once a week fitness contract will run on a Wednesday with two groups of girls under 16 years old. Contact news@yatasports.com for further information.
