Training

This year we have extended the number of training sessions, to give athletes more options.

Training is primarily for Under 9s to Under 15 age groups, although we are happy for Under 8 siblings to take part if they are super keen.

John Michelmore, Chris Muirden, Paul Marr, Kate Beaconsfield, Graeme Ward and Andrew Hunt will all be on hand to assist during the season.

Age Group Manager and Parent training: Saturday October 22 8am-9am

Camberwell Malvern coaches will conduct a short practical information session at Kooyong Park on October 22 between 8am and 9am. The session aims to:

  1. Provide useful coaching tips on how to assist athletes in field events.
  2. Provide advice on how to record athlete performances.
  3. Provide tips on managing groups.

All parents are welcome to attend.

Training – Starts October 12

Athletes in age groups Under 9-15 can compete in four Sunday relay competitions against other centres and also at the regional track and field titles in February. This year we are running two training sessions per week at Kooyong. Wednesday afternoons will have a heavy sprints and relay emphasis. Sunday morning will offer all events.
