Weekly Coaching

Essendon Little Athletics offers a coaching program to all registered athletes free of charge.

Coaching is optional and is a great way of meeting athletes in different age groups.

In season training

We offer centre-level training every Monday evening, which is included in your registration fee. We are running cross country training at the moment, which starts at 5pm every Monday. Pending numbers, the group is usually split into two based on age.

Relay Training

Relay training will be provided to all athletes competing in Region and State Relays. Times and dates for this will be advised closer to the start of the 26/27 summer season.

Specialised Coaching for U9 and older

For those athletes and parents who would like additional coaching, we recommend reaching out to Athletics Essendon who have a range of coaches, some of which take younger athletes. You can find more information here: Coaches – Athletics Essendon

LAVic offers a program called ITLAS: Introduction to Teaching Little Athletics Skills. This program is designed to help participants become better placed to assist children to perform basic athletic skills. The course is great for parents, volunteers, previous Little Athletes and school teachers, who want to know a little more about the skills of the sport.
