For our youngest athletes, we offer the Athletics NZ ‘Get Set Go’ programme, tailored specifically for children under seven years old. This wonderful foundation program provides fun, educational, and developmentally appropriate activities that focus on building essential skills. Run by Coach Jen and her team of helpers.
‘Get Set Go’ emphasises having fun while helping children develop agility, balance, and coordination, which are crucial for building athletic skills. Activities include engaging games, obstacle courses, relays, and modified athletic events, each designed around a key movement, such as running, throwing, or jumping.
The program aims to foster children's confidence and enjoyment in athletics, laying a solid foundation for their future involvement in sports. Parents play a vital role in these sessions, offering guidance to their children and lending a helping hand with the activities.
Wednesday's, Session 1 is 4pm - 5pm and Session 2 is 5.30pm to 6.30pm.
Our club night programme for athletes aged seven and up is all about fun, learning, and competition! Each Wednesday evening, we run three sessions where kids can receive coaching on the basic techniques and approaches for different athletics disciplines, followed by a chance to put those skills to the test in a friendly competition.
For children new to athletics, our programme is designed to help them learn the techniques and rules of each event, building their confidence to compete in both interclub competitions and school events. For our more experienced athletes, club nights are a fantastic opportunity to refine their skills and focus on the fundamentals in a fun, relaxed environment.
Ashburton Athletics is a community-driven club, run by passionate parents and volunteers, and we’re always on the lookout for new helpers and coaching assistants to join our team!
If you love seeing kids get excited about athletics and have some time to spare, why not get involved? We have access to coaching training, so no experience is necessary—just a positive attitude and a desire to make a difference!
Ready to inspire the next generation of athletes? We'd love to hear from you! Please reach out via email to president@ashburtonathletics.co.nz for more information on how you can get involved.
