Mini Athletics is coming to Salisbury and Shaftesbury, described as fun, fast and physical. The children’s classes are aimed at one to seven year olds who are active and loving sport.
The winning formula of mixing imaginative play with burning energy has classes starting in January by ex-Sunday Mirror journalist Nicola Small.
The mum-of-two said she is passionate about getting children fit and active and was looking for a new challenge in life.
She said: “Our sessions are friendly, fun and full of running, jumping and throwing – everything that kids love doing.
“We also have a big focus on imaginative play, with weekly themes such as pirates, unicorns and the ocean.
“Your kids will be having so much fun, they won’t realise all the new skills they are picking up!
“And you’ll find it’s not just physical skills they learn at Mini Athletics, but also social, cognitive and listening skills too.
“I want to help give kids the best introduction to sport, instilling a passion for an active and healthy lifestyle.”
Nicola, 40, who has competed for Somerset in cross country running, has two daughters aged four and two.
Classes in Shaftesbury are on Sunday mornings at Shaftesbury CE Primary School, with four sessions for different age groups.
Classes in Salisbury are on Thursday afternoons at Dennis Marsh House.
Mini Athletics sessions can be booked by nurseries and schools throughout Salisbury and North Dorset – with free tasters available in January.
