Training
During the Little Athletics season, training takes place at Seaforth Oval, Wakehurst Parkway, Seaforth on Wednesday evenings from 5:30pm to 7:00pm.
Training for the 2011 -
Please ensure that you arrive on time so that all athletes can get the most value out of each session, and the coach doesn't have to repeat instructions each time another athlete arrives late.
To assist the children in reaching their full potential, we will have qualified coaches to teach the children proper technique in a variety of disciplines.
Due to the large number of children that typically attend training sessions, parent assistance is always required. It would be greatly appreciated if at least one parent helper accompanied each group. They can assist the coach with most activities including much needed "Crowd Control".
Parents do not need to have any special training to assist the coaches however if they do wish to gain the skills to be able to more actively participate at training then Seaforth Little Athletics will pay for their enrollment in the “Introduction to Training Course” conducted regularly by the Little Athletics Association.
