Club training

2025/26 Season 


Training Opportunities

We are thrilled to welcome Christian Romanelli to Grovedale Little Athletics Club! Christian brings a wealth of passion and experience, particularly in track and hurdles, and is generously donating his time and expertise to help our athletes grow.

Training Details

Time & Location: Deakin Track, Waurn Ponds Mondays, 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM Starting
(time to be confirmed for 2025/26 season)

Training is not compulsory but is highly recommended. It’s an excellent opportunity for athletes to build their knowledge, skills, and confidence.

Cost

We’ve worked hard to secure sponsorship to cover most of the costs, including track hire and support from additional coaches (senior athletes from Deakin Athletics). However, we kindly ask families to invest:

First 2 weeks free
(date to be confirmed for 2025/26).

A $25 fee per athlete for the remainder of the season, which equates to less than $2 per session if you attend all trainings!

RSVP

To ensure we can accommodate everyone: Please RSVP the Sunday prior to each session via the weekly email or the link provided.

Squad and Event Coaching

Please note: Some squad and event coaches may have preferences regarding athlete age, experience, performance, and commitment.


Session fees may apply for some coaches.
