COACHING

There are a few options for coaching our athletes at both The Gap Little Athletics and Ashgrove Rangers who are the Queensland Athletics club and they also train at the High School grounds.

​

TGLA coaching night is Wednesday from 6:00 pm (5:45 for  warm up) at The Gap State High School Oval for all athletes (except tiny tots).   All TGLA coaching is included in your registration fee and is optional.

​

The Gap Little Athletics.
We have a coaching night on Wednesday from 6pm to 7pm each week during the season. Wednesday coaching will include all our events presented in a weekly programme.   We will typically have up to four coaches available. 

​

Wednesday night will generally provide three events and the athletes can choose the one they want to participate in. The three event will be selected from: sprint or hurdle, a throw (Shot, Discus or Javelin), a horizontal jump and high jump (high jump will always be either scissors or flop - not both). Event selection will sometimes be limited by availability of coaches.

There is also additional coaching available to the older athletes (under 9 and older) on Saturdays. This is generally a regular strength and conditioning session followed by technique on request. See the notice board for weekly updates. One on one coaching is available on request.

​

Ashgrove Rangers.
Rangers train on Monday and Thursday evening from 5:45pm to 7pm. They provide training (and some coaching) for sprints and middle distance events. A coach is available for throws and horizontal jumps most evenings.

Our under 9 and older Little Athletes are welcome and encouraged to attend these sessions for a small fee of $5 paid directly to Rangers on the night.
