CLUB TRAINING 

​

Thursday Evenings

Time: 5:00pm - 6:00pm

​

Location: 

Meadowglen International Track, 146 - 156 McDonalds Road Epping (Melway 182 J12).

​

The club coaches take athletes through all relevant events, often focusing on events that are coming up that weekend. Athletics beginners through to more experienced and advanced athletes are catered for. Some are recommended to make inquiries with “Squads” at Whittlesea City who generally focus on a specific athletics discipline.

 

a. Uniform is not required for training, suitable clothing and footwear is sufficient.

​

b. Parents are asked to please come forward and offer their assistance as our programs are run totally with parental help. It will also give parents a better understanding of all events.

 

c. Bad behaviour and language will not be tolerated at training and an athlete will not be allowed to
train for the night if they cannot behave in the appropriate manner.

 

d. No child is to be left unaccompanied at training, parental supervision is compulsory.

 

e. If raining or temperature is above 38 degrees at 5pm training will be cancelled.

 

SQUAD COACHING 

 

In addition to Club Training the centre has multiple coaches that offer Squad Training.

​

Being training in one of the developed squads will give athletes access to specialised coaching that club training doesnt have to offer. Quite a few athletes, particular experienced ones in older age groups, prefer to focus their training on a particular event or event group, with coaches specifically training in those areas. The Centre is now investing in those coaches and is developing a structure to support these squads as they grow.

​

Squad Coaches are accredited with Athletics Australia, well trained and experienced. All event types are covered - Sprints, Hurdles, Jumps, Throws, Walks, and Distance Running.

​

The nature of squad coaching necessitates that places are limited and some squads are already full.

​

If squad training does interest you or your family, or you would simply like to have a chat about what oppotunities might best suit your child/children with their athletics developement, please don't hesitate to contact WCLAC Coaching Coordintor Andrea Kewish.
