SPRINTS
Head Coach Dan Brooker
Junior Coach Donna Reilly
Club Night Sessions – Tuesday and Thursday from 5pm – 6.30p.m
Saturdays 10.30 – 12pm
We have a very successful sprinting team at Brighton and Hove AC. We work up to national, international and paralympic standards for our athletes.
Currently we have two groups; a senior sprint group that covers year 10 through to adults and a junior group that covers year 6 to 9. For our senior group, we expect a commitment of at least 2/3 track sessions per week and for juniors at least 1/2 track sessions per week.
Unfortunately, our sprint groups are currently full but if you are interested in joining the waiting list, then please fill in this Google Form – a member of the coaching team will contact you if a space becomes available.
An alternative to the B&H club nights are Dan’s Sprint Groups run by Freedom Leisure. This is also a great way to try sprinting before committing to the regular club nights.
So, if your young person is in school ages Year 4 – Year 10 then a Friday evening sprint session at 5pm is a great option. If your young person enjoys the sessions and shows a real commitment to sprinting, they can be recommended to join the club sessions via this route. This if often quicker than waiting for a place to arise.
This session is drop-in and has no commitment although booking a space in advance via Freedom Leisure is preferred. Please note – These are NOT run by the club. You will not be a member of the club if you come to this session, but it does provide a similar training structure to club nights.
You can book these sessions on this link here or by calling the centre:

and look for Dan’s Sprint Group.
Please be aware that these sessions are not always running due to school holidays so please check with the centre before coming to the track. Please do not contact BHAC for more information regarding pricing, booking etc as these sessions are run by Freedom Leisure and not the club.
