Coaching Information

Please note that a level O (Orientation to Coaching) are organised by QLAA through the season. We will sponsor you to do that course provided that you agree to participate in coaching at our centre for 2 years.

Please see any of the committee if you are interested in doing this or another coaching course.

At Kenmore the parents are generally the coaches, however for specialist coaching in particular areas see either :

Tony Castley : Level 1

and/or Alex Young

Coaching

This year we are trying incorporating coaching sessions into the program rather than having separate coaching. In this way we hope to give more of the kids a basic grasp of the fundamentals. This means that in some events there may be no competition or recorded performances, instead the kids will do drills and practice technique.

For keen athletes extra coaching may be available during the week. You can obtain information by talking to Paul or Louise.

External coaching is available through other Little Athletics clubs or Athletic centres such as UQ Sport. Toowong Harriers hold coaching sessions during the week - see their website for details : http://www.sites.ourbrisbane.com/toowongathletics/
