What is the Jura Sports Athletics Academy?
Our Athletics Academy’s mission is to develop young athletes in the Terre Sainte area by learning different athletics disciplines including the three essential movements: running, jumping and throwing, in a fun and secure environment. We will practice sprints, hurdles, javelin, discus, shotput, long jump and many more!
How long, when and where ?
Sessions are between 45 and 90 minutes long depending on the age group. We meet on Tuesday afternoons at the Founex Sports Centre, between August and October, and between April and July. We run cross country in October and March at the Parcours Vita in Versoix (Cabane des Bucherons)
