Coaching is available to registered members of St George Little Athletics (only). The sessions available each week, the applicable age restrictions and participant limitations are described below.
Sprints coaching will have an emphasis on fitness.
Field Event coaching focusses on mastering basic skills and technique to perform the events “legally”, and for beginners to improve performances.
High Jump coaching will emphasize scissor technique noting this is mandatory for U9 and U10 and highly recommended for older age groups.
