Specialising in Sport

Welcome to Specialising in Sport!

Specialising in Sport! has been at the forefront of athletics development in the region for many years.

Thousands of children benefit throughout the year from work carried out by Specialising in Sport! in schools, clubs and on holiday schemes. Drawing heavily upon the Sportshall and Startrack programmes and working closely with both British Athletics and England Athletics, we provide a range of opportunities and services for young athletes, leaders, students, coaches, teachers and officials.

Zoe and Edward Parsons established Specialising in Sport! more than fifteen years ago. Whilst Edward is now committed to a new schools role with England Athletics, Zoe has continued to support the development of athletics locally, providing a range of exciting, engaging and rewarding opportunities in the sport. Whether introducing a curriculum session to a class of children at Key Stage One, delivering a Sportshall event for a couple of hundred children or lecturing to a group of PGCE students, Zoe enjoys all aspects of her work and relishes a new challenge
