You will always know where your child stands
We recommend every athlete starts with an assessment, so training is built on measurements rather than guesswork.
1. Assess
2. Read the report
3. Train
4. Re-test
A 50–70 minute session covering sporting background, goals and running mechanics, with speed, agility and power testing.
You receive a written report outlining strengths, areas for improvement and our recommended training approach.
We recommend a training frequency that fits around school, other sports and recovery, in a group or one-on-one.
We repeat the tests at the end of the training block, so you can see what has changed.

Questions parents ask
Does my child need to be a sprinter?
No. Our coaching supports athletics as well as sports such as football, rugby, netball and basketball.
How often should they train?
It depends on the athlete. After the assessment we recommend a frequency that fits around school, other sports and recovery.
How young can they start?
We coach from age 5 through to adults, from children learning the basics to competitive sprinters.
How many athletes are in a group?
We keep groups to 7 to 8 athletes per coach.
What happens if it rains or we miss a session?
Training goes ahead in the rain. If there’s lightning we cancel the session, and your child can come to another session instead. Athletes also get 2 make-up sessions per term.
Do you take photos of my child?
Only with your permission. We ask for photo and video consent on our registration form.
