UP COACHING – JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT SQUAD (JDS)

UP Coaching hosts weekly Junior Development Squad Sessions specifically aimed at children between the ages of 8-14y.

At present, the session locations are at Glenbrook Oval on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

Sessions are always 5 pm to 6 pm this term, every Tuesday and Thursday. Please see the separate post within this event for location details.

Junior Development Squad Sessions will rotate each week and will be a mix of track training, trail running, hills and cross-country-based sessions. All sessions will begin with a range of warm-up games, running drills, and the main run session and conclude with cool-down activities.

JDS Sessions are split into 3 Groups.

• Young Guns
• Rising Guns
• Top Guns A and B

Your child will be assessed by Head Coach Graham and will be allocated a group. Group changes can be requested by parents and athletes outside the training times, however, parents will need to coordinate with Brendan on placement prior to each session.

Sessions are open for all children with a passion for improving as runners. Sessions are focused on improving running speed, running pacing, running technique, endurance, overall fitness and of course having fun within a junior squad environment.

Sessions are hosted by qualified UP Coaching Athletics coaches through Athletics Australia;

All coaches have obtained Working with Children Checks and have current First Aid Certificates.

The sessions will be run every during NSW School Terms Please see posts within the event for the exact session location each week as locations vary.

Toilets/changing facilities are available at venues.

Weather Policy: It’s always the individual athlete’s prerogative regarding attendance for outdoor sessions during unideal weather. UP Coaching’s position is: ‘If it’s raining we’re training and heat we can beat, however, if it’s hailing we’re bailing and lightning is frightening so the run…there’s none!’
