1-to-1 Athletics Coaches in Brighton

Private 1-to-1 athletics coaching in Brighton typically costs between £35 and £65 per hour. Coaches with academy or international coaching experience sit at the top of that range. Block bookings of 5 or 10 sessions almost always come with a discount — ask about it when you enquire.

Sessions typically run on athletics tracks and school/park facilities — around Brighton that includes Preston Park, Hove Park and Withdean Sports Complex, plus school and club sites when the coach has an arrangement in place. Brighton & Hove Albion academy coaches work 1-to-1 across the city, Withdean Stadium and the Brighton & Hove Athletic Club track support sprint and athletics coaching and Sussex CCC network sits just along the coast at Hove. If your athlete has a preferred venue, mention it in your enquiry — CoachSpot coaches list the venues they can travel to, and many will meet you at your local club or park.

Any coach working 1-to-1 with under-18s in the UK should hold an enhanced DBS check and a current safeguarding certificate. On CoachSpot both are mandatory — a coach's profile can't go live without them, and the verified badge on the profile means we've seen and reviewed the certificates directly. Warm-up, cool-down and progressive load matter more here than in almost any other sport — ask specifically how a coach handles them.

• Look for UKA Coach or Athletics Coach qualifications, not just personal-trainer credentials • For sprinters, ask how they'll measure progress — timing gates, video, or just feel • Confirm which events they specialise in — a generalist across throws and sprints is a red flag On CoachSpot you can filter by Brighton and by athletics, read reviews from other local families, and message a coach before booking a trial session.
