Coaching/Training
Kenmore Little Athletics appreciate that coaching is an important part of an athlete’s development. In the 2022/23 season, we will endeavour to provide professional coaching opportunities throughout the season during our Saturday afternoon competitions or at other times. These will be both fun and constructive. Each week KLA committee members will be present at the grounds to give instruction and feedback to both parents and athletes.
There are a number of excellent coaching programs run by UQ Athletics (University of Queensland Athletics) which are held after school during the school term. For full details refer to their website uqsport.com.au or contact their Programs Coordinator on 33657492.
It is important to note that parents are primarily responsible for the running and (where able) basic coaching of all events during Saturday afternoon competitions. We aim to have at least one committee member present at all field events to help with instruction and or coaching. As a club, we will endeavour to sponsor parents through coaching courses during the season provided that there is a commitment to coach at our club for two consecutive seasons.
