The West London Hammer School Development

Following on from Alan Bertram and all the work he has done for hammer throwing in the UK, Jamie Bath has taken over the management of the school, as well as a developmental role. The ‘home’ of the school has moved from Vale Farm in Wembley to Perivale Park Athletics Track, Perivale.

Jamie works for the London Borough of Ealing as the manager of Perivale Park Athletics Track which includes being responsible for athletics development across the borough. Jamie used to compete himself but found he preferred to coach with Alan as his mentor.

Jamie is currently working towards his UK Athletics level 3 / 4 in the hammer and has already had coaching successes with several young athletes reaching Middlesex County standard, and has recently been invited to coach Surrey’s county standard athletes at the South East Regional Training event.

The work done so far will hopefully provide Jamie with a good foundation for the future development of hammer throwing in West London.
