ACADEMY INFORMATION
we have 2 separate academies running per day. These are the Youth Easter Athletics Academy and Teen Elite Sprint Academy. Please see individual academy details.
In special circumstances, we sometimes group the child based on ability, however; in all cases children are given an appropriate level of coaching in an enjoyable, friendly and safe environment.
If you make us aware of your child’s friends on the booking form we can try our best to make sure that they are in the same group.
If the child suffers from any disability or medical condition, its very important that you make us aware of this in the booking form. The 5 day academy may aggravate any disability or medical condition, so its important that we are aware, so we can effectively deal with this situation and ensure that your child enjoys their academy experience.
If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s fitness, and believe they require extra support, please do not hesitate to call us to discuss this matter prior to booking.
If you have any questions or concerns about your child disability, and believe they require extra support, please do not hesitate to call us to discuss this matter prior to booking.
They will be making new friends and feel confident in their surroundings within no time at all.
Parents are also welcome to call at any time and check on how their child is settling in. Please also be assured that if there are any issues with your child we would contact you directly as soon as possible to make you aware.
The larger the academies the better, as it means your child has the opportunity to make more friends, and also meet more Olympians, Paralympians, and Team GB athletes.
Its important to note that more children we have on the academies the more coaching staff we will recruit.
If only 100 students sign up for the Athletics Academy we would only bring 5 Team GB athletes and this would be enough to successfully run the academy.
We say this because our team of coaches are made up of 50 Olympic, Paralympic, and Team GB athletes from around the UK.
We have spend many years fine tuning our recruitment process, and this has lead to us being able to recruit some of the top athletes not only in the UK, not only in Europe, but in the world!
We are also currently working with head coaches who have previously been world champions and world record holders, so again, its fair to say your child will be learning from the best.
Alongside these head coaches, your child will also have the opportunity to work with qualified and experienced assistant coaches. Again, these will be made up of Team GB athletes.
The assistant coaches will deal with any day to day issues your child may have, whereas the head coach will oversee and run all the individual activities.
A small amount of heat should not put of a budding sports man or woman, and therefore we would continue the programme if this was the case. But we aim to avoid the sun with most activities.
It goes without saying that a risk assessment would be done before we carry out the activities to ensure the safely of your child.
Youth Athletics Academy pick up time: 7:00pm
Teen Athletics Academy drop off time: 6:30pm
Teen Athletics Academy pick up time: 9:00pm
This will involve at least 2 coaches staying behind, therefore its important that you are accurate with the time you are actually going to arrive.
Athletes In Schools has the right to charge up to 100 AED for every 30minutes that you are late beyond 8:00pm. This is to cover the cost of the coaches staying behind.
Our risk assessment highlights that, although itsvery difficult to fully eradicate small bumps & scrapes; we have taken the appropriate steps to eradicate any serious injuries your child may otherwise sustain.
Please rest assured however, that in the case of any injury, we have a fully qualified first aider on the academy.
For anything beyond a minor injury, you will be immediately informed and in the unlikely event of a serious injury, we will also inform the emergency services.
It would then be in your best interest to collect your child from the academy, as we do not have the facility to provide an extended period of care to your child.
We also require that you any child that is ill unfortunately does not attend the academy for the full duration of their illness.
It is important that your child is symptom free for at least 48 hours before attending the academy.
Please be aware that if your child does come to the academy will an injury or illness that prevents them from taking part, we reserve the right to refuse entry to the academy. This is simply because we have a duty of care to the other children taking part.
What to bring on the academy
We recommend fruit as a substitute to junk food, however as a parent we leave this up to you.
A refillable water bottle is essential however as your child will need to stay well hydrated throughout the day. (We will supply drinking water)
Alongside any medication that your child requires, (including inhalers, Epi – pens) please also pack sun cream for your child. If the weather is good, we will remind your child throughout the day to apply the sun cream.
Finally, please insure that everything has your child’s initials on it. Just in case something goes missing, it will be easier to identify and return to your child.
We also recommend you pack a spare pair of socks and a t-shirt, as students can get quite warm throughout the day.
We will not take responsibly for electronic items being lost, damaged or going missing on the camp.
Money will also not be required on the academy.
Our policies
As we are aiming to create a fun & enjoyable atmosphere at the academies, its also important that as a parent you correctly educate you child on this matter.
If there is any issues regarding bullying, parents will be made aware, and the issue will be dealt with efficiently in the proper manner.
As for bad behaviour, our coaches are experienced in dealing with behavioural issues and therefore wherever possible we aim to resolve any issues immediately.
In the rare occasion that a child has a prolonged negative impact on the experience on other children, we reserve the right to exclude your child from the academy.
No refund for the academy will be given to parents if this is the case, and AIS Academy also reserve the right to cover any additional costs associated with providing transport home for your child. This will then be the parent’s responsibility.
We have a moral obligation and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children.
A risk assessment has been conducted at the venue, so we can provide a safe and friendly environment where children feel welcomed.
Our coaching staff have been trained to identify the signs of abuse and neglect at the early stages. Due to this we are able to provide effective support for your child.
We have a ‘0 tolerance’ policy towards discrimination of any sort.
Your personal information will be stored securely at all times and is only accessible by a small number of authorized staff, therefore rest assured your privacy is very important to us.
All children that have paid to participate for the full 5 day academy will also receive our official Great Britain Athletics Academy T-shirt. All the Team GB athletes coaching on the academy will be happy to sign this for your child.
Teeshirt price – 180 AED
Vest price – 140 AED
