GREAT START TO 2017
What a great start to the second half of the 2016/2017 season. Some wonderful performances have been registered by all age groups and a club record too for Zoe (U8Girls).
Today also saw a veteran athlete run the 400m with the U14-17’s. Under 11’s age Manager, Geoff Davidson, take on a combined field of runners and showed that, despite a few years on the side lines, his skill as a mid distance athlete is still impressive. Well done Geoff!

When we practice
Our club operates on a strong basis of parental involvement. There are so many small and easy jobs for parents to help out with.
We really enjoy the fact that all of our children get to see the benefits of their parents helping out other children and getting benefit too.
Every Saturday (weather permitting) we are out at Chapman oval from 9:00am to around 12:00pm. Our schedule is usually finalised around the end of August, or early September every year. As soon as it is ready, it can be found on our team calendar page. We also train on some weekday evenings. These are also scheduled in the calendar so that you can synchronise them up to your smart phone calendar App.
During the Saturday sessions, the size of your age group may vary from year to year as some age groups are extremely popular and may be split into to groups.
