Successful New Breed campaign hits halfway stage

New Breed reaches halfway stage

The New Balance New Breed Schools Initiative has been rolling out at pace in search of the next generation of Irish athletes and encouraging a new wave of participation. Last week David Gillick visited Temple Carrig, Greystones, Presentation College Carlow, Tullamore College, Colaiste Mhuire Mullingar with Athletics Ireland taking the students through three main tests: standing long jump; vertical jump and timed sprint throught electronic speedgates. 

Gillick gives his reflections on the visits to date below and you can also watch a video of the launch that gives a good insight into the programme.
