Week of 3rd Sept 2012
City North Little Athletics - Week of 3 Sept 2012
Many thanks to all of the parents who helped on Saturday. We have had a record number of new athletes trial and thanks again to parents for helping and to athletes for their patience. The Saturday program should now start to speed up.
Training - Tues and Thurs this week
We will be having our usual training this Tues and Thurs nights from 6pm to 7:15 with a full group of coaches each night.
Tuesday we will training in High Jump flop as well as sprints, mid distance and long jump and possibly javelin as well.
Because of the increased numbers in the club we will be holding some Thursday night racing towards the end of training. This Thursday we will be holding 800m races from 7pm. These will be timed and while the Thursday night races will not be counted for PB purposes in the club recording it will be a great opportunity for athletes to improve their performances. This race will be for under 9s and above. Depending on numbers we could have some shorter races for the younger age groups.
