Gateshead Harriers & Athletics Club Coaches

We will do our best to find the right coach for your needs. Our coaches are volunteers who are qualified UKAthletics coaches and hold RunLeader, Level 1 (Assistant Coach), Level 2, Level 3 or Level 4 coaching licenses depending on their experience and progression. There are many athletic disciplines and we are very lucky to have some excellent coaches and Mentor Coaches who coach in their specialist event group and work together to make Gateshead Harriers & AC the most successful club in the North East.

If you would like to be introduced to a coach then please make an appointment by clicking on the Contact Us tab.   We will then arrange for you to come down to the stadium on a club night (Tuesday & Thursday 6:00-8:30pm) and speak to our Admissions Officer. They will liaise with the other club coaches in order to best fit each athlete’s individual needs.

All of coaches coaches are required to adhere to our code of conduct to ensure best practice:
