Welcome to Aspire Athletics at Woking Sportsbox
Inspiring the Next Generation of Athletes
Welcome to Aspire Athletics at Woking Sportsbox – a vibrant and inclusive athletics academy where children and young people can develop confidence, athletic skills, and a lifelong love of sport.
Founded by Daley Thompson CBE, Double Olympic Champion, and Kate Staples, former Great Britain pole vaulter, TV Gladiator “Zodiac”, and experienced youth coach, Aspire Athletics is built on a simple belief: every child should have the opportunity to enjoy sport, develop their potential, and experience the benefits of quality coaching.
Whether your child is taking their first steps into athletics or looking to build their sporting performance, our programmes provide the perfect environment to learn, grow, and thrive.
The Aspire Athletics Academy
For more than 30 years, Daley Thompson and Kate Staples have been inspiring young people through athletics, working in schools, sports clubs, and community programmes across the UK.
The Aspire Athletics Academy focuses on developing the fundamental skills that underpin all sports:
- Running
- Jumping
- Throwing
- Agility
- Balance
- Coordination
- Speed
- Strength and movement skills
These core athletic foundations not only help children excel in athletics but also improve performance across a wide range of sports and physical activities.
Our aim is to create confident, resilient, and motivated young people who enjoy being active and are equipped with the skills to succeed both on and off the track.
Outstanding Coaching
At Aspire Athletics, coaching quality is at the heart of everything we do.
We are proud to have assembled a team of carefully selected, highly qualified coaches who bring a wealth of experience, energy, and passion to every session.
Our coaching team includes former international athletes, UK Athletics qualified coaches, and specialists in youth athletic development who understand how to help children learn, progress, and enjoy sport.
Every session is designed to:
- Build confidence and self-belief
- Develop athletic ability and movement skills
- Improve speed, coordination, and fitness
- Encourage teamwork and sportsmanship
- Create positive and enjoyable sporting experiences
Most importantly, we ensure that every child feels welcomed, supported, and celebrated regardless of their experience or ability level.
More Than Just Athletics
At Woking Sportsbox, we believe athletics is about far more than running fast or jumping far.
It’s about developing healthy habits, making friends, embracing challenges, and discovering what you’re capable of achieving.
Our athletes learn valuable life skills including:
- Confidence
- Resilience
- Discipline
- Respect
- Teamwork
- Goal setting
These qualities help young people succeed not only in sport but in school and everyday life.
