Training for Athletes

This year we have a revitalised team of experienced coaches who are willing to train our athletes.  Each Wednesday there will be a number of coaches available to train athletes who are committed to improving athlete's performance.  These group training sessions will enable athletes to improve their technique and fitness in their chosen athletic field.  To get the most out of training it is advisable that athletes come consistently throughout the season as the skill base will be built upon week by week.  All coaches are highly qualified and have Working with Children Checks.

For more information about training please call Leigh Murphy on 9726 5979
& 0412 513 997 or Glen Oakley on 9726 7551 or 0412 549 025

Junior Development Squad

The Junior Development Squad (JDS) is a program aimed at giving our talented athletes a little more in terms of coaching, education, competition and a sense of accomplishment.  Athletes must qualify for the squad by fulfilling set criteria.  The 2008 JDS Coordinator is Ross Keppel from the Comets LAC and he can be contacted by e-mail at rosskeppel@hotmail.com
