COACHING
There are a few options for coaching our athletes at both The Gap Little Athletics and Ashgrove Rangers who are the Queensland Athletics club and they also train at the High School grounds.
​
TGLA coaching night is Wednesday from 6:00 pm (5:45 for warm up) at The Gap State High School Oval for all athletes (except tiny tots). All TGLA coaching is included in your registration fee and is optional.
​
The Gap Little Athletics.
We have a coaching night on Wednesday from 6pm to 7pm each week during the season. Wednesday coaching will include all our events presented in a weekly programme. We will typically have up to four coaches available.
​
Wednesday night will generally provide three events and the athletes can choose the one they want to participate in. The three event will be selected from: sprint or hurdle, a throw (Shot, Discus or Javelin), a horizontal jump and high jump (high jump will always be either scissors or flop - not both). Event selection will sometimes be limited by availability of coaches.
There is also additional coaching available to the older athletes (under 9 and older) on Sundays. This is generally a regular strength and conditioning session followed by technique on request. See the notice board for weekly updates. One on one coaching is available on request.
​
Ashgrove Rangers.
Our under 9 and older Little Athletes are welcome and encouraged to attend Ashgrove Rangers training sessions. Athletes will need to join the Ashgrove Rangers club ($32) and there is a fee of $2 for each training session. And once the athlete has joined Rangers they will also be able to compete in QA events.
