Get faster.  Build your skills.  Find your passion. 

Elmbridge Xcel Sports Hub, Walton-on-Thames · Ages 4–17 collaborating with Momentum Track Club · Both are England Athletics affiliated clubs

ABOUT OUR WALTON PROGRAMMES

ATG Athletics delivers athletics and speed development for children and young athletes aged 4–17 at Elmbridge Xcel Sports Hub. Every session is led by DBS-checked, UKA-licensed England Athletics coaches, many of whom have competed for their country.

Athletics is the foundation of every sport. Whether your child is taking their first steps, wants a head start in football, rugby or netball, or is aiming to compete at county and national level, they will build the running, jumping and throwing skills that carry across everything they do.

Open to all abilities, from first-timers to competitive athletes.

Aspire Athletics, in partnership with Momentum Sports, delivers outstanding athletics and speed development programmes for children and young athletes aged 3.5–17 years at Elmbridge Xcel Sports Hub in Walton-on-Thames.

Our mission is simple: to help young people develop confidence, athletic ability, and a lifelong love of sport through expert coaching and a proven long-term athlete development pathway.

Whether your child is taking their first steps into athletics, looking to improve performance in another sport, or aiming to compete at county and national level, Aspire Athletics provides a structured and supportive environment where every athlete can thrive.

Through running, jumping, throwing, speed development, and athletic movement training, we build the foundations for success both in athletics and across all sports.

OUR ACADEMIES — FIND YOUR LEVEL

ATG Little Athletes (ages 4–6) Fun, games-based coaching that builds running, jumping, balance and coordination. The first step onto the pathway.

ATG Junior Athletics Academy (ages 7–11) Structured coaching in sprints, drills, long jump, high jump and throws, plus the foundations of speed and strength.

ATG Senior Athletics Academy (ages 11+, school Year 7 and above) Sprints, intervals, endurance, drills, hills and conditioning, with event-specific coaching and competition preparation or just come along to be social and have fun!
