🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Coaching & Training

Port Macquarie Little Athletics is fortunate to have a dedicated team of accredited coaches who will provide training and coaching opportunities for all registered athletes throughout the season.

👟 Our Coaches

Mick Duxbury is a Level 2 Development Coach and is qualified to provide coaching across all age groups and a wide range of athletics events.

Vicki Cech, Melissa Ferguson and Rochelle Hembling are all Level 1 Youth Coaches and are qualified to coach athletes up to the age of 12. All three are also currently completing their Level 2 coaching accreditation.

🤝 Training for All Athletes

Our coaching sessions are available to all registered Port Macquarie Little Athletics athletes and will generally be conducted in group sessions.

All of our coaches volunteer their time to support the club and our athletes. As a result, training sessions will be scheduled around their availability.

Our coaches will endeavour to provide regular training opportunities throughout the season, with a strong focus on inclusion, fairness and providing opportunities for as many athletes as possible.

🚧 Training Before Club Nights

In the lead-up to the commencement of our regular club nights, training will focus primarily on athletes progressing into new events, including:

• 🏃 Hurdles

• 🦘 Triple Jump

• 🎯 Javelin

• 🏅 Scissor High Jump

• ⬆️ High Jump

💪 Ongoing Training

As the season progresses, coaching sessions will continue to focus on areas of need and provide athletes with opportunities to develop their skills, technique and confidence across different events.

To ensure sessions remain safe, effective and manageable for our volunteer coaches, numbers will be capped for each training session.

If a session is full, please contact the club and your athlete will be placed on a waitlist. If a position becomes available, we will contact athletes on the waitlist.

👤 Individual Coaching

Our club coaching sessions are designed as group training sessions, and our volunteer coaches will not be providing individual one-on-one coaching.

If you feel your child would benefit from specialised or individual coaching, please contact the club. We can assist by putting you in touch with coaches or specialists who may be able to provide this type of training.

📧 Questions or Requests

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ We look forward to helping all of our athletes develop their skills, enjoy their athletics and reach their potential throughout the season.
