Hello to all of you that I haven’t yet had the pleasure of meeting.  I was asked in February this year to assist the club as head coach. I took on this new role with enthusiasm and excitement. Little Athletics is very new to me as some parents found on my first coaching session with the club I discovered a whole different area of coaching and I would like to thank all the kids for making my first season so enjoyable and helping me as a coach grow and develop. I see the opportunities that are available to our young up and coming athletes as a pathway for developing fundamental skills and encouraging a healthy lifestyle. I am currently a level 3 ATFCA coach in Sprint/hurdles and Relays with level 2 event specific qualifications in Jumps and Throws.  Over my years as a coach I have work closely with High school aged athletes through to open and International athletes.
      This year I saw some great improvements in young athletes and I would like to congratulate all athletes that achieved their season goals and Personal Bests. I believe the club has given their young athletes a huge opportunity by continuing training sessions throughout the winter to assist kids with school athletics and help develop a fitness base throughout the entire year. I would like to say a big thank you to Ben Goodall and Sam Mulcahy for their efforts as assistant coaches in throws and Jumps.
      As this has been my first season working with the club I would like to encourage all athletes to come to our training sessions in the upcoming season. We are having lots of fun and developing FUNdamentals, and some very good relationships with the young athletes and parents.
