SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY for CLAC registered athletes and parents / volunteers of U11 and U12 boys and girls.

Roger Hosie will be hosting a COACH and COMPETE session THIS WEDNESDAY 30th NOVEMBER at Clarence High 4.30 – 5.30pm.

Events will be JAVELIN and SHOT PUT (Discus will be offered if we have time).

Roger is investing his time into our Centre voluntarily to help out our athletes (he simply LOVES coaching) but also to assist in the qualification of our parents / volunteers in Field Events. These events will be run with the emphasis on not only the athlete but on how to run a Javelin and a Shot Put Event.

If you are not confident in helping out on or running one of these Events then please try to get along to this COACH and COMPETE session.

Even if you do not have an athlete in these age groups – AGCs and Volunteers would definitely benefit coming along.

Depending on availability and enthusiasm of our members we will endeavour to offer more of these for other age groups going forward.

Athletes results will be recorded and entered as Meet results.

We would love an idea of how many athletes and parents, AGCs, Volunteers are available to come along please – message us, post below or email us : secretary78@gmail.com.

Roger has had many, many, many years of experience in Coaching on track first then moved to throws. His children Rachel and Matt both attended CLAC right up to U15s. He currently Coaches a number of CLAC athletes and regularly travels to National competitions to support them.

WE THANK Roger for providing our Centre with this amazing opportunity!
