Knox LAC Coaches Profiles Knox is very fortunate to have a large number of dedicated, experienced & qualified coaches who provide an excellent coaching service to Knox athletes. All Knox coach's are volunteers and donate their time and energy for the love of the sport and to assist athletes be the best that they can be. This page provides a brief summary of their availability, contact details, background and interests.
We coach all comers (must be members of Knox Little Athletics) and all events for free on the nominated training days. Just turn up! Due to the large numbers of athletes attending training at Knox, coaches may sometimes have to restrict numbers where safety, control, ability and size differences of athletes is a concern. Commencing coaching at the end of the season when many athletes are preparing for Regional and State competitions is perhaps not the best time to start training.
Are you interested in coaching? Knox LAC assists
current and potential coaches to further their coaching knowledge by
encouraging attendance at recognised ATFCA coaching courses. Individuals
undertaking and applying the benefits of undertaking an approved coaching
course and commit to coaching regularly will be reimbursed their out of
pocket expenses.
Coaching sessions for track (sprints distance and
relays) & field (jumps and throws) events are held primarily on Mon & Wed
evenings commencing in September through to March with a short break over
the Christmas/New Year period. The track is reserved for Little Athletics
use from 4-7pm, but start times vary depending on the coach & event. To
relieve track congestion hurdles training is conducted on Thursday evening
from 5:30-7pm. Coaching availability varies depending on each coaches work
and family commitments.

Availability for coaching: Sprints now follow jumps on Thursday evenings. Some of the jumpers go over to hurdles at the end of the session, while a few of the hurdles group move across for sprints. Hurdles with Steve and Brendon Thursdays (when not doing jump/sprint session). I also have a Squad of regular Runners comprised essentially of U/11+. This group trains at various venues two to three times a week and is based more on commitment than ability. It is capped at about 14 runners (to keep it manageable & best help those who are really committed to turning up.) If someone drops out, there’s room for someone else. Javelin by request/when & if it can be squeezed into the schedule! Please click HERE! for the current coaching program Contact
