The best way to build confidence, improve technique and get more out of competition is to attend regular training.

Training is optional for all South Barwon athletes, with a range of opportunities available throughout the season for athletes who would like to develop their skills.

Free Fundamental Skills Training with JJ’s Track Squad

South Barwon Athletics Club is proud to be sponsored by JJ’s Track Squad, who will provide free Fundamental Skills Training sessions for South Barwon athletes during the Summer Track & Field season.

Sessions will be held on Tuesdays and Fridays and are designed to help athletes develop the fundamental techniques they need to participate safely and confidently across athletics events.

The focus will be on getting the basics right, including correct technique, event rules and good habits that can help athletes reduce the risk of injury and avoid unnecessary disqualifications during competition.

These sessions are a great option for athletes who are new to Little Athletics, as well as existing athletes who would like to improve their technique.

How do I attend?

Fundamental Skills sessions are free for South Barwon members, however numbers will be capped to ensure coaches can provide athletes with appropriate instruction and support.

Specific session times, available events and booking details will be announced to members through the Stack Team App during the season.

Keep an eye on Stack for upcoming training opportunities and register early where required.

Event Specific Coaching

Once athletes have developed a solid foundation, they may wish to further develop their skills in a particular event or event group.

There are a number of specialised athletics coaches and coaching programs available throughout Geelong. Many provide coaching in areas such as sprints, middle and long distance running, hurdles, jumps and throws.
