Clubs for kids who want to do athletics?

[Terracata]

My son is nearly 6 and desperate to do athletics. Clubs near us don't start until age 8, so I'm wondering if it'd be a good idea to get him into something else until he can join an athletics club. We do park run on a Sunday, sometimes he does the adult one. Are there any solitary sports (he doesn't do well wirh team sports or complicated sports) that I could consider?

Tennis or golf?

It's there nothing after school? DS has done athletics club since reception and whilst it's at the school it's a private provider and children from 3 different local schools can book in

I think he'd struggle with tennis. Is golf a hood precursor to athletics? 🤔

Yes but again, only from year 3 and up.
