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.
