The outgoing registrar will be on hand to assist with pre-season registrations in September but volunteering now will also mean that you can get a feel of what the position requires now whilst things are quiet.

U12 - U15 Athletes - Junior Development Squad

The Junior Development Squad (J.D.S) gives athletes an opportunity to gain new skills and improve technical competencies through participation in coaching and training sessions with some of Victoria's leading coaches. Training with other keen and enthusiastic squad members is both fun and motivational, and helps develop new friendships based on an enjoyment of athletics. The emphasis on learning new athletic skills, and improving existing ones, is in a friendly and supportive environment. The program consists of numerous activities including coaching days, education sessions, role model sessions with elite athletes, invites to attend National & International level events and a highlight for the year is the JDS coaching camp.
