Introduction to Little
Athletics Day
Sat 20th Sept - We
decided to open the new season with a special program that will
help new athletes and parents learn how things run on a normal
Saturday morning at Dendy Park. Come along ready for
action at 9am. We will start with a warm-up and should
have time for a few different events (with coaching where
possible) before pack-up time.
Calling
Our Experienced Little Aths Parents - We need your help to
run our Introduction Day on Sat 20th Sept. Your job will
be to help the parents of our new members to learn to enjoy
helping on Saturday mornings as much as you do! If you are
available, it would be great if you could come along. Your
children are also welcome to participate in the program of
events; they will be a big help to the new athletes too!
Coaching Courses for Parents There are lots of great courses
scheduled throughout
September and
October for parents who wish to get involved as a coach.
These courses are funded by the centre and all we ask in return
is that you help with the coaching duties at Brighton for two
seasons. Click the links above for details and
registrations forms.
Junior Development Squad (JDS) Our U12-U15 athletes
should check via the link below whether they have qualified to
join the JDS program for season 2008/2009. JDS offers
extra coaching days for athletes who have met the qualifying
standards. The first extra coaching day for this season is
being held on Sunday 12th October at Knox (click
for all the JDS details).
Midweek Coaching Sessions
After daylight-savings begins, we will be holding coaching
sessions on one night (probably Thursday) each week before
Christmas. Details will be provided soon so keep an eye on
our
Coaching page.
Open Days at other centres
Keep an eye on the
VLAA Calendar for details and entry forms for the Open Days
scheduled around Victoria. Open Days are a great chance to
meet and compete against athletes from other centres. They are
held regularly throughout the season and are open to all
registered little athletes. |
