Foundation
Tuesdays & Thursdays 6:30pm - 7:30pm
​
This group aims to introduce more exposure to a range of track and field events such as long jump, javelin, hurdles etc, without requiring the athletes to specialise in any specific area.
Running Events
Foundation group starts to introduce more specific coaching in running technique, for example sprint starts, while allowing athletes to continue to to practice running over various distances.
