The Bees Academy is a Blackheath & Bromley coaching scheme designed specifically for children in school years 4, 5, 6 and 7 to encourage their participation in sport and to develop their athletic potential to the best of their ability. Coaching sessions are held each Monday and Wednesday from 6.00pm to 7.00pm and also Saturday mornings from 9.00am to 10.00am at Norman Park Athletics Track, during school term times (check dates here ).

The scheme covers running, jumping and throwing in various forms and through different approaches. Whilst youngsters are exposed to traditional track & field events, the coaching of those events may be effected in non-traditional ways if appropriate. The keys are that the children have some fun and their skill and achievement levels are enhanced.

Coaches involved in the scheme are licensed by UK Athletics at varying levels and covering various disciplines. In addition the club insists that all coaches undertake a Criminal Records Bureau check at an enhanced level which is designed to encompass persons involved with children. UK Athletics is now also introducing the same requirement as a pre-requisite to being licensed to coach in the UK.
