To Parents
"Jumping for fun!"
We want your child to enjoy athletics, whatever their abilities. All we want is for your child to achieve their Personal Best (PB), and ALL children are welcome whatever their ability or previous athletic experience. All coaches are fully qualified, and have been CRB checked in accordance with both Club and UK Athletics requirements. Those specifically dealing with Godiva Kids are as follows:
Kellie Bewick, Ian Grins, Gordon Horne, Roger Medwell, Ann Smith, Jim Spencer, Luke Wilson
By the time your child has reached the age of 13 we shall have identified what they enjoy best, and they can then join an event-specific training group where they will be coached in their chosen event(s).
We want to give your child a head start in athletics, but most of all we want them to enjoy being an athlete and to be proud of being a GODIVA Kid.
