About South West Athletics Academy
South West Athletics Academy is based at Exeter Arena in Exeter, Devon, England. Founded and led by coach Sonya Ellis, it offers athletics development from early-childhood activity through to adult training, with an emphasis on learning event skills as well as improving fitness.
The programme separates younger participants into introductory and developmental age groups, then offers more advanced training for teenagers and adults. Its published activities include disability athletics and sessions for women and girls. Individual coaching and technical analysis sit alongside group sessions, allowing athletes to discuss a more specific event focus.
The academy also takes a portable athletics track to schools and community events, extending its work beyond the Exeter venue. Prospective participants can use the public enquiry email or telephone to discuss the appropriate group and current availability. Check the current timetable before travelling, particularly where a session or school-holiday programme needs advance booking.
