Fundamental Fitness and Athletic development centres are based in and around the
Reading area. Our aim is to get children involved and enjoying participating in
physical activity through fitness and athletics regardless of their ability or
background, boosting their sporting standards, confidence and setting the
building blocks for a healthy life. "After doing well in a primary inter school
sports day, my then teacher recommended I joined an athletics club. At the age
of 9 I started with Reading athletics club and have never looked back. I started
in the multi events group and quickly moved over to the throwing disciplines
after breaking one of the long-standing club records for Javelin- a distance
that ranked me 24th in the UK. Whilst continuing with other events for fun, I
later specialised in Discus throwing and went on to compete for my club, county
and region at various national events, spending several seasons inside of the
top 20 in the UK for my age group, and gaining gold medals at county
championships, South of England championships and National League finals along
the way. It was during the 2012 season, after captaining the Reading squad and
winning the National league final with them that I decided I wanted to coach and
team manage for the younger age groups. Fundamental Fitness & Athletics
Charlotte Webb 6 Years later and my passion is to see children getting enjoyment
and success from their sporting careers. I am a qualified Level 2 UKA athletics
coach, coaching Reading AC U11, U13 and throwing squads. I am also team manager
for the boy’s national premier league team and over the 6 seasons have qualified
for 4 national finals. We are currently UK champions for u13 and u15 age groups.
To enhance my athletics coaching ability I have also studied level 3 personal
training and nutrition which helps me to develop all the key areas of
conditioning for the athletes. In 2018 we have qualified for national finals,
raced at the Muller games Diamond league events, and seen numerous athletes
improve on the personal best performances. I have since been recognised as the
winner of the ‘Young volunteer of the year' award by England athletics for the
South East region and finished inside the top 3 in the country. If you have any
