Raise The Bar is a free 6 week programme for 11 to 16 year olds to take part in Weightlifting and strength training at participating academies in Wales.
The Raise the Bar project is designed to give participants the opportunity to learn new skills, develop mobility, learn how to weight lift and safely perform a range of strength and conditioning exercises.
The focus is on enjoyment, working with others, making new friends, learning how to lift and building strength. Developing an understanding the benefits that strength and a healthy lifestyle can have on long-term physical and mental health.
As the National Governing Body for Weightlifting in Wales, Weightlifting Wales wants to make sure that young people have opportunities to learn from skilled coaches in safe and inclusive environments.
The Raise the Bar project is currently delivered by the following three Weightlifting Wales academies:
- Coleg Sir Gar (Llanelli)
- Evolve Weightlifting Academy (Crosshands)
- Strength Academy Wales (Haverfordwest)
