We provide coaching for all the sprint events with a major focus on technique and style. Our sessions are adaptable and can accommodate those who would also like to improve their explosive speed and conditioning for ball sports such as AFL – Netball – Rugby League – Football – Hockey
The sessions are programmed and supervised by Lead Coach Graham who is a Level 4 (Elite) Sprint Coach and Caitlyn Hicks is the assistant coach, for the Juniors and Developing Squads. (refer Coach’s Profiles for details)
We accommodate three squads including:
- Young Little A’s (7-11)
