👋👋Meet Amazineer Rachael 👋👋
Rachael is our lead coach in Chelmsford who has very quickly become a huge part of our team!

Rachael started teaching dance/fitness to children in 1990, as an ex professional dancer. She has always loved the rehearsal phase as much as the performance so it was a natural transition to move into fitness. 💪
Rachael adores the energy young children bring to each and every class and feel we must embrace this to keep their love for movement. Mini Athletics captures this beautifully as we’re not out to create the next set of Olympians but inspiring a lifelong love of movement, health and fitness ♥

Come see Rachael on a Saturday morning at Chelmer Village Hall! 🥰

More Than Just Sport
At Mini Athletics, we believe we’re teaching children much more than how to run fast or jump high.

We’re helping them develop life skills too. 💙

When a child tries something new and succeeds, their confidence grows.

When they don't quite manage it, they learn to try again.

When they cheer for another child, they learn kindness and teamwork.

And when they spend a session laughing, running and playing…

They learn that being active is FUN! 😍

From walking to age 8, our sessions give children a positive introduction to movement and sport in a welcoming environment.

Because we don't just want to create little athletes.

We want to create happy, confident, active children. 🥰

Is Your Child Full of Energy?
If your child comes home from school with MORE energy than they started with… we have a solution! 😂

Mini Athletics gives children the chance to run, jump, throw, climb and burn off all that energy in a fun and supportive environment. 🏃‍♂️💨

And while they’re having fun, they’re also developing important skills like:

💪 Strength
⚖️ Balance
🎯 Coordination
🧠 Listening
🤝 Teamwork
❤️ Confidence

Our sessions start from walking and run all the way through to age 8, making Mini Athletics a fantastic introduction to sport.

So instead of hearing:

“Muuuuum, I’m bored!” 😩

You could be hearing:

“Can we go to Mini Athletics?!” 😍

September is the perfect time to start!

Why Mini Athletics?
What makes Mini Athletics different? 🤔

We don't expect little ones to be serious athletes.

We simply want them to move, explore, learn and have fun! ❤️

Our sessions are packed with age-appropriate activities that help children develop the skills they’ll use throughout childhood — from their very first steps right through to age 8.

🏃 Running
🦘 Jumping
🎯 Throwing
🤸 Moving
😄 Laughing!

And because every child develops at their own pace, there’s no pressure to be the fastest or the strongest.

Just lots of encouragement, high-fives and opportunities to say:

“Look what I can do!” 🙌

That’s what Mini Athletics is all about. 💙

🏃‍♂️🌟 From Mini Athletics to Colchester Harriers! 🌟🏃‍♂️

A huge shoutout to Fela, who has been part of Mini Athletics since our very first session back in January 2024! 🎉

It has been fantastic watching him grow in confidence, develop his skills and, most importantly, have fun being active. 💪😊

Fela has now taken the next step in his athletics journey and joined Colchester Harriers! 🏃‍♂️🏅 What an achievement!

This is exactly what we love about Mini Athletics — it can be the beginning of a child's athletics journey. Our sessions help children develop fundamental movement skills, coordination, speed, jumping, throwing and confidence, giving them a fantastic foundation to progress into a proper athletics club once they turn 8. 🌟

A massive thank you to Fela’s Mum for the lovely chocolates and thoughtful thank-you card. 🍫💌 It genuinely means so much to us and we’re incredibly grateful for your kind words and support.

Fela, we’re so proud of you and can’t wait to see where your athletics journey takes you next! ❤️🏃‍♂️

Keep running, jumping, throwing and believing! ⭐

🌟 Our First Ever Mini Athletics Holiday Club! 🌟

What a way to spend August! ☀️🏃‍♀️🎨

We were so excited to launch our first ever Mini Athletics Holiday Club — and what an incredible few days it was!

We packed the sessions with everything we love about Mini Athletics, giving the children the chance to run, jump, throw, create, compete, play and have LOTS of fun!** 🙌

🏃‍♂️ Mini Athletics Games – all the favourites were there! From fun races and team challenges to games that tested speed, agility, coordination and teamwork.

🎨 Arts & Crafts – plenty of time away from the track to get creative, make things, and let imaginations run wild!

🏅 Athletics Events – the children got to experience a range of running, jumping and throwing events, learning new skills while having a go at different challenges.

⚽🏀 Multi-Sports – because we couldn’t possibly stick to just one sport! We introduced different games and activities to keep everyone moving, learning and having fun.

And most importantly…we made friends, built confidence and created some fantastic memories along the way. ❤️

Launching our first holiday club was a huge milestone for Mini Athletics, and seeing the children enjoying themselves, getting stuck into every activity and encouraging each other made all the hard work completely worthwhile.

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who joined us and helped make our first holiday club so special. 💙

This is just the beginning… 👀
Who’s ready for the next one?! 🙌🏃‍♀️

☀️ Summer has been busy!

The last few weeks have been all about family time, making memories, enjoying the sunshine and making the most of the school holidays. ❤️

Whether they’re completely new to athletics or already love running, jumping and throwing, our sessions are all about fun, learning new skills, making friends and developing a lifelong love of sport. 💙

There’s something special about seeing children discover what they’re capable of!
So, as the summer adventures come to an end, let’s get those trainers back on! 👟
