Our Program<\/h3>\n

Sandy Little Aths caters for children aged 5 to 16. We are an inclusive Centre and can modify activities and events for all abilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We offer Under 6 athletes a dedicated coaching program called “On Track”.\u00a0 This program is run on the in-field throughout the season and focuses on introducing the children to athletics and developing the children\u2019s motor skills while having fun.<\/p>\n

For U7-U9 athletes, we run a skill development program for the first two weeks. This program introduces athletes to the fundamentals of the athletic disciplines. After the initial skill development, we have dedicated coaches for each event throughout the season that provide coaching and instruction to help the athlete develop their skills.<\/p>\n

For our U10+ athletes, we have coaches for each event that provide guidance and input to help the athlete continue to develop their skills.<\/p>\n

We have 3 programs of events that are rotated on a weekly basis. Our Calendar highlights what Program Number we are running on a particular day and what events it includes.<\/p>\n

Our Saturday morning program is split into 2 sessions. The earlier session is for our younger athletes, and the later session is for our older athletes.<\/div>\n
