Our Training Squads
We welcome athletes from age 8 to adult and run a number of training squads covering a variety of disciplines.
FUNdamentals & Foundation Squads
Children aged 8 to 11 are placed into one of our FUNdamentals groups, where the focus is on developing the fundamental movement skills of running, jumping and throwing. At this age, our aim is to develop these skills through games and fun activities.
From ages 11 to 13, children train within one of our Foundation groups where the focus moves towards event specific training within the three areas of running, jumping and throwing. There is still an emphasis on developing all round athletic ability and further development of the fundamental movement patterns.
Event GroupSprint & Distance Squads
The sprints groups focus on training across the range of sprint distances including 100m up to 400m. The training can also cover hurdles and some of the horizontal jumps.
Training in the distance groups aims to develop athletes in the main endurance and middle distance events appropriate to their age and development, including track racing from 800m to 10k, as well as road and cross country races.
