ACADEMY COACHING
All of the SETAFA AC coaching is undertaken by a list of approved Independent Coaches plus the Professional Athletic Academy. The Academy is seperate from SETAFA AC and some coaches are Professional and require payment whilst someare volunteers. The Professional Academy is open to all athletes regardless of club affiliation.Please contact us for information regarding any of the listed coaches and coaching setups. We leave coaching choices up to the individual to avoid conflicts of interest and to allow the athlete to have an informed choice instead of having a coach forced upon them.
MEMBERSHIP OF SETAFA AC IS FREE FOR ALL ATHLETES ATTACHED TO THE FOLLOWING ACADEMY COACHES:
- GARY SPRAKE - PERFORMANCE COACH/SPRINTS
- LOUISE VAN DEN BRAAK - ASSISTANT COACH/SPRINTS
- HAYLEY GREENWOOD - QUADKIDS
Athletes coached by a volunteer coach are charged £6 per month for membership of SETAFA AC
