About the Program
The aim of the program is to enhance and develop all round athletes. The athletics program is designed to assist athletes to achieve at both intermediate and elite junior level. All athletic events are covered at training including jumps, throws and sprinting and middle distance.
Through participation we hope to encourage all athletes to achieve their personal best and to follow a course. The athletes learn to work cooperatively with coaches, mentors and with each other. They also develop organisational skills that will encourage not only good sporting habits but encourage the development of the all round person.
