Sprint Coaching for Athletes Aged 11+
Developing speed, technique and race performance for 60–400m sprinters.
Is Your Child Fast?
Many young athletes discover their natural speed through school sport or team sports.
Our sprint programme helps athletes develop their acceleration, sprint technique and race performance in a structured and supportive coaching environment.
New athletes are always welcome to attend a trial session.
Based at Rugby Avenue Running Track, Coleraine
The sprint programme is led by Mike Fountain, an experienced athletics coach specialising in sprint development from 60m to 400m.
Athletes within the programme have progressed to win Northern Ireland and Ulster medals, Irish Medals and championships, and several athletes have gone on to compete at international level.
Mike also works as a tutor with Athletics Northern Ireland, helping to develop athletics coaches across Northern Ireland.
Training focuses on structured sprint development, technical coaching and long-term athlete progression.
