Knox Little Athletics Centre Inc.

At Knox Park on Saturday 7 Feb 2015, 2:00pm – 9:30pm.
For more info, see the Registration Form.

From Monday 17 Nov, the Long and Triple jump training will be split into two groups:

5.00-5.45pm: U7-U11
5.30-6:30pm: U12-U15 (includes warm-up)

This is to ensure that training is more age-specific.

Australian Long Jump champion Brooke Stratton will be coaching with Steve Morris for the 5.30-6.30pm group.

Any queries, please call Steve Morris
0425 750 125.

All participating centres share duty at this event. Knox LAC is required to cover various roles including canteen, marshalling, umpiring and gate keeper.

If your child is participating at this event, you will be required to do duty for a period of time during the day.

Centre Coaches and Team Managers are not required to do duty.

Over the next 2 weeks, the duty roster will be prepared and those rostered-on will be given a duty slip.

Basic duty instructions will be provided on the day. For example: Marshalling athletes onto the track or to a starting zone; Umpiring watching for athletes running in front of another or stepping over a line.

Thank you for your participation.

When: Sunday 9 November 2014
U6-U10: 10:00 am – 12:00 noon
U11-U16: 12:00 noon – 2:00 pm

Where: Knox Athletics Track

Over the two hours, athletes will rotate between four of their chosen events and spend around 30 minutes with a coach at each event.

Long and triple Jump coach Russell Stratton coaches an elite group of Long Jumpers, including 2014 Australian champion and Commonwealth games representative Brooke Stratton.

Specialist coach John MacCall from Little Athletics Victoria will be giving the kids some great tips and activities.

The majority of the Knox Little Athletics Centre Track & Field coaches will also be coaching on the day.

We are also finalising arrangements for some other special guests at the clinic.

We encourage all athletes to attend this unique opportunity to train with some highly talented and experienced coaches.

Don’t forget we’ll also have a free BBQ, for athletes on the day.

Please note that the Knox Athletics Seniors Club have the track booked for training between 5–7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Seniors have been very accommodating and shared the track with Little Aths during these times.

Now, with increased activity at the track, we ask that parents and unregistered children do not use the track between 5-7pm on Thursdays.

Also, junior athletes are asked to use the four outside lanes while the seniors use the inside lanes. Good track etiquette is to allow faster runners to use the inside lanes, while slower runners move to the outside.

Please continue to be friendly to others on the track at all times.

Thank you for your cooperation.
