ATHLETICS

The NSW Athletics partnership are launching a Junior Development Program in Tamworth next year. It utilises the expertise of the Centre of Excellence’s Performance and Pathways team to extend the program to regional NSW after running is successfully in metro NSW for the past 5 years. This program could support some of your sporting programs to add long term development of movement literacy and gym-based movement patterns tailored to the child’s growth and maturation

  • The Junior Development Program (JDP) is a term based physical development gym program for kids aged 10-14 aimed at building the foundations of strength power speed for multi-sport
  • Athletes are allocated into training groups based on biological age and movement competency testing and train 2 times per week in a squad environment
  • The program includes video analysis testing and sport science protocols to individualise training for kids of all levels
  • Program begins 3 February 2025
