Athletics continues to thrive in <strong>Staffordshire</strong> with huge steps taken in the past<br />
twelve months through the excellent relationships with School <strong>Sport</strong> Partnerships<br />
and clubs. <strong>Sport</strong>shall athletics in schools has been taken to ‘another level’<br />
with fantastic development across the County in schools. Competition in<br />
sportshall athletics is now taking place for both primary and secondary age<br />
athletes providing a pathway to <strong>Staffordshire</strong>’s excellent athletic clubs. This<br />
development is due to a considerable amount of planning from School <strong>Sport</strong>s<br />
Partnerships, Competition Managers, Athletics Clubs and <strong>Sport</strong>shall Associates<br />
all of whom I thank enormously. It has been very exciting to be a part of what is<br />
now an established and successful development for athletics.<br />
Outside of sportshall athletics, <strong>Staffordshire</strong> athletics clubs have been providing<br />
athletes with outstanding opportunities in their communities and their athletes’<br />
performance at competitions reflects this. Clubs are also continuing to provide<br />
athletic opportunities for the non-competitor with Jog England and similar<br />
programmes thriving. As always it is a pleasure to work with such dedicated<br />
individuals who volunteer to make this all possible. Many thanks.<br />
