Mini Athletics Canterbury and Thanet

Hi, I’m Rich! Welcome to Mini Athletics Canterbury & Thanet, where we turn movement into an adventure. My mission is simple: getting kids active, building their confidence and making sure every single child leaves with a massive smile.

Why join the Mini Athletics family?

Inclusive Fun: We believe everyone has their own way of winning. Whether it’s a first step or a fast sprint, every milestone is celebrated!
Skill Building: We use imaginative themes to help our superstars run fast, jump high, and throw far.
Confidence First: We’re all about the "top step of the podium" feeling, learning new skills in a supportive, high-energy environment.
Active athletes mean better sleep patterns for them (and a more relaxing weekend for you!).

Spaces are limited and filling up fast! Come and join us at one of our venues below and start your child’s journey to the podium.

Our Team

Meet the Canterbury and Thanet Team

Hello! I'm Rich, the owner and lead coach of Mini Athletics Canterbury & Thanet. I'm thrilled to be joined by my wife Dani and our budding Mini Athletic stars, Nellie and Billy.

Dani and I bring a wealth of experience from our time working with children at a renowned holiday resort across the UK, complemented by my career in football coaching. Together, we're excited to expand and enhance our program, providing a fun and supportive environment for young athletes.

As we grow, we're eager to welcome new coaches to our team, who, like all of us, will be equipped with Enhanced DBS checks and full pediatric first aid qualifications. Who knows, you might be our next coaching superstar! Let's inspire the next generation of athletes together.
