Sprint Hurdles Technical Camps 2026

BLCF is delighted to continue the expansion of its partnership with England Athletics in supporting the sprint hurdles technical camp sessions.

These 2-hour camps are mainly targeted, but not limited to, U14 and U16 sprint hurdlers, and cover important aspects of hurdles technique, including moving up an age group (new hurdle heights & distances), thus enabling athletes to become more efficient hurdlers. The sessions are structured to assist athletes as they continue to develop.

Personal coaches are encouraged to attend and observe, and they will have the opportunity to ask the lead coach questions after each session.
