KLAC Endorsed Training and Coaching
Club Training
Athletes are encouraged to attend training to help them improve their technique and performance. Club Training is offered on Thursdays between 4:30-6pm and is facilitated by KLAC endorsed, accredited coaches.
All training is held at Gormley Park (unless notified otherwise). We have coaches available who can cater for all age groups. If you want to attend training but the above timeslot doesn’t suit, let us know and we can try to work something out.
Please note: Parents are required to stay and assist during training. All high jump training is dependant upon enough parents being available to assist with the setup/packup of high jump equipment.
Athletes should bring a hat, drink bottle and warm clothes to put on afterwards.
Self-paced Training
Athletes wishing to undertake self-guided training are able to access Gormley Park under our KLAC club bookings on Wednesdays 4:30-6pm and Sundays 2-4pm. Some training equipment may be available for short term loan, please contact our Education Officer for further information.
