The objective of the athletics academy section with the Mellieha Athletic Club is to build a solid foundation for kids who are interested to attend running training sessions.  The main philosophy behind the setup is to build a training system which is attractive to the kids and at the same time making sure that the very basic principles of our training regime are already introduced at this early stage.

The club’s academy mission is to focus on middle to long distance running and as a result the training delivered is based around this focus.   Parents are well informed about our strategy at the introductory meeting, so that we make sure that communication is clear and no other type of training is expected during their kids training sessions.
