About us
Blending athletics, education, and mentoring, Track Academy is a launchpad for young people to break down barriers, unlock their potential and thrive.
We empower young people facing challenges to improve their confidence, resilience, education and build supportive networks – equipping them with the tools to shape their own futures.
Track Academy was launched in 2007 by former international triple jumper Connie Henry MBE, who grew up in Brent and honed her craft at the Willesden Sports Centre. Connie travelled the world as a competitive athlete, winning a bronze medal in the 1998 Commonwealth Games.
Acutely aware that sport gave her opportunities she may not have otherwise enjoyed, she created Track Academy so the young people of Brent could fulfil their own potential.
Today, we are proud to work with more than 350 young people every year aged between 5 and 21, who make more than 50,000 visits to our sessions across 52 weeks of the year.
