Long Jump Training in Southend

Leaping towards athletic success

Both the long jump and standing long jump are simple yet challenging tests of athleticism. One is a simple evaluation of total jump distance from a standstill, while the other is a more technical combination of speed and agility.

Our long jump training in Southend includes both disciplines and treats them as standalone events, instead of two sides of the same coin. Our standing long jump sessions cover the three components of a standing long jump (The take-off, flight and landing), while our conventional long jump sessions focus on acceleration to achieve maximum velocity and incorporate techniques such as the hitch kick to improve air time.

Bringing proper form

We emphasise and drill proper jumping technique for our younger athletes and beginners, and as the athlete gains experience, we switch the focus of the sessions into developing overall strength, flexibility and speed.
