FREE D: School Training Facilities

The new Free D training facilities, designed in conjunction with our partners - UK-based company ESP Ltd - and endorsed by both afPE and Parkour UK, have now been installed in 4 schools in northern England. The official launch took place at St. Leonard’s Primary School in Padiham which is a current case study for the Trust Schools Strategy. It was an outstanding success with support from Burnley Football players Clarke Carlisle and Chris Eagles who were there to back the concept. The community-based project has already had a huge impact in the Burnley area, with the resource currently being used by our team in conjunction with the local police force to train young people to take the ADAPT Level 1 Certificate in Coaching Parkour. Having a permanent outdoor facility like this in schools is perfect for young people to learn the fundamentals of movement upon, and we look forward to seeing it in use across the country soon.
