sporting performance for junior sports. For more information about
resistance training at Knox please click on the above link. Resistance
training is only for older junior athletes aged 12 and older. Gym places are
currently full as demand is very high and Mike Donato is the only qualified
coach. Priority of places is in the following order - throwers, then
sprinters/jumpers and finally endurance runners.
