ABOUT 

The Aviva UKA Academy is a fresh new approach to grassroots sport, designed to give every child in the country the opportunity to get involved in athletics by 2012, creating a long-term legacy for the sport, helping the next generation to stay healthy and active and hopefully unearthing even more champions along the way.

The Aviva UKA Academy provides something for everyone, from those who want to have fun, to those who aspire to be the next British champion. Comprised of six schemes, new indoor and outdoor competition and awards structures, it aims to engage and attract children to athletics, regardless of age, level or ability. Activity ranges from teacher training to schools competition, disability athlete recruitment and after school and holiday programmes.

The Aviva UKA Academy provides a 360 degree, 365 day approach to the development of grassroots athletics.

Olympic Champion Christine Ohuruogu, World Champion Jess Ennis, Olympic Silver medallist Phillips Idowu and Double Paralympic Champion David Weir are proud  to be Aviva UKA Academy Ambassadors.
