About This Program
Making athletics exciting and accessible for younger students
Our Junior Track & Field program is designed specifically for Foundation to Year 3 students. Every session blends professional coaching with age-appropriate sports science — so children develop real technique while discovering how their bodies work. We make athletics exciting, accessible and genuinely fun for every ability level.
Builds Confidence
Every child succeeds at their own level through progressive, game-based challenges that celebrate effort over outcome.
Real Technique
Professional coaching on running, jumping and throwing fundamentals from day one — not just free play.
Sports Science
Age-appropriate discussions about muscles, energy systems and why warm-ups matter before every session.
Zero Prep for Teachers
We bring all equipment, coaching and session plans — teachers just supervise while we deliver.
What We Cover

- Relay racing — baton exchange zones, acceleration into the changeover
- Hurdle fundamentals — lead leg, trail leg, rhythm between barriers
- Long jump — approach run, take-off foot, flight position, landing
- Modified throwing events — shot put grip and push, discus spin, javelin carry
- Reaction games — starting signals, agility ladders, direction change
- Team athletic challenges — relays, target throws, jump-off competitions
Session Times
Flexible Scheduling
Early Morning
7:30am – 8:45amStart the day with high-energy athletics coaching before the school bell — perfect for families with an early routine.
Early Afternoon
3:00pm – 4:15pmIdeal for families who need a slightly later pick-up — students train straight after school while parents finish the work day.
Late Afternoon
4:30pm – 5:45pmPerfect for families who want their child to have a break after school before heading into training.

Coaching Methodology
Technique in Depth
We don't just run drills — we explain the mechanics behind every skill so students understand what they're doing and why. Click each section to explore the coaching detail.
Sports Science
The Science Behind Junior Athletics
Every session includes a sports science moment — a short, engaging discussion that helps children understand how and why their body performs the way it does. Tap "Deeper fact" to go further.
Arm Drive
"Why do we swing our arms when we run?"
Arms and legs work in opposite pairs — when the right leg drives forward, the left arm swings forward to balance it. Bigger arm drive creates more rotational force, which drives the opposite leg harder. Elite sprinters have arm speeds that directly correlate with leg speed.
Jumping Power
"What muscles help us jump higher and further?"
The glutes (backside), quadriceps (front of thigh) and calves all fire in sequence to generate explosive upward and forward force. The stretch-shortening cycle — where a muscle stretches just before it contracts — produces significantly more power than a static contraction alone.
Warm-Up Science
"Why does warming up matter before sport?"
Warm muscles are more elastic, contract faster and are far less likely to tear. A proper warm-up increases muscle temperature, improves nerve conduction speed (so signals from the brain reach muscles faster) and lubricates joints with synovial fluid.
