Our Coaches
Our dedicated volunteer coaches, all accredited by Athletics Australia and holding valid Working With Vulnerable People (WWVP) checks, are here to support our athletes’ development.
To ensure that our athletes are covered by insurance, they must be registered members of either our club or a Little Athletics Centre. Track usage fees apply for training at St Leonards Athletic Centre, and these fees are included in the registration for Track & Field athletes.
If you’re a new athlete or have any questions about our programs, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
