Spotlight on Athletics

With the Athletics Carnival quickly approaching in Week 7, we turn the spotlight to the girls who have been developing their skills on Monday and/or Thursday Athletics sessions.

Training in athletics offers numerous benefits for girls. It promotes overall fitness, agility, and endurance while instilling valuable qualities like discipline and coordination. These skills are not limited to a single sport but can be transferred to various athletic activities, allowing girls to explore their potential and excel in different areas. If you are interested and want to know more or looking to enrol, please get in contact with Tom Mitton.

We are so excited to have our Years 4-6 AFL skills up and running this year! It is a great chance to learn some new skills and have a go at a new and upcoming sport. With our first team entering the IPSHA competition in Term 3 last year, we look forward to more teams this year! We train on Thursday afternoons this term to help best provide a safe and fun first experience for those looking to get involved in AFL!
