Our Mission >

“Raise The Bar” Olympic Weightlifting Club aims to make a positive contribution to the personal, social, academic and technical development of all school-age lifters.

By providing a safe, professional learning environment it is expected that individuals will be given the opportunity to maximise their potential. In pursuit of this goal coaching staff will help each player to ‘be the very best that they can be.’ The ultimate objective is to raise “local gifted and talented” weightlifters who will represent our local region, nationally and internationally.

Our Constitution

Our Club

The main focus for our club lifters is to learn safe and sound techniques, and not to lift maximum weights until they have mastered the basics.

Youth (9 - 19 year olds) and Adults (19+) coaching sessions are held at Elswisk Pool (Near Newcastle College, Rye Hill Campus). See table below for training times. For directions, see venue map.
