Hello and Welcome to Mini Athletics NNTN!

Our award-winning classes introduce children (from walking to 8 years) to the joy of movement through imaginative games, storytelling, teamwork and fun. Every session is designed to build coordination, confidence, physical literacy and social skills — all while helping little ones fall in love with being active.

Run by local parent Taylor, Mini Athletics brings energy, encouragement and community spirit to every class. With a young child myself, I understand just how important it is to nurture healthy habits, resilience and confidence from an early age.

We’d love to welcome your little one to experience the magic of Mini Athletics, right on your doorstep!

Mini Athletics in Schools:

Mini Athletics lessons are in line with school curriculums, which means we can cover Physical Education sessions. We pride ourselves on developing athletic skills. As proficiency develops, confidence grows, contributing to increased participation in a wide range of sports.

We can shape our sessions to be in line with year-group themes.

Mini Athletics in Pre-Schools:

Our sessions are action packed ensuring every child meets the physical activity levels for the day. Space concerns? We will risk assess the space and very often find safe solutions so the children do not miss out on our fantastic sessions.

Our Team

Meet the Mini Athletics NNTN Team

My name is Taylor. I am the owner and head coach.

I'm from Australia and have a 5-year-old son whom I wanted to get involved in Athletics. However, when I looked into the athletics pathway in the UK, it is virtually non-existent for children under the age of 8 so I bought into a franchise to bring Mini Athletics to the Children of the North East.

Mini Athletics really does cater for every child. It brings out the best little version of themselves through being physically active in a social setting. They will learn fundamental skills like eye-hand coordination, teamwork and social skills. I am extremely passionate about Athletics and getting young children involved in Athletics as I did when I was young, as I know first-hand how great it is and the benefits that come from a non-specific sport.

I began with what we call in Australia 'Little Athletics' when I was 3 years old and I instantly loved it. It was a fun, social and for my parents energy-burning activity that brought me joy. So much so that I competed until I was 16 years old and became a national-level athlete.

I have a long history in sports being with Athletics, Basketball and Australian Football. I was lucky enough to become a professional athlete at AFLW. Now I'm a mum to a 5-year-old and I love being active with him.
