Mini Club – Under 7 years old (born 2020-2023)

For our children aged 3-6 years old, we follow athletics New Zealand’s ‘Get Set Go’ programme. The programme provides educational, developmentally appropriate, fun activities that build and develop children’s fundamental movement skills.

Our Mini Club athletes take part with the support of a parent or caregiver. This shared experience allows families to enjoy being active together while helping children develop their running, jumping, and throwing skills in a fun, safe, and encouraging environment.

Every third week will be a competition week where athletes get an opportunity to race on the track, jump into the long jump pit, and have a throw measured (soft shot, quoits or vortex).

Mini Club is held on Monday alongside the other club activities at the Tauranga Domain. Mini Club meets at 5:20pm and ends at 6:20pm.

Junior & Youth (born 2007-2019)

Our athletes aged 7 to 10 rotate through 4 event stations every week with a mixture of coaching and measuring stations. Coaching stations are led by our Head Coach or one of our other club coaches. Measuring stations are led by a committee member or volunteer with the assistance of parents and caregivers to help measure, rake, and crowd control.

Measuring stations are led by a committee member or volunteer with the assistance of parents and caregivers to help measure, rake, and crowd control. Our club coaches are also on hand to provide coaching advice and tips to our athletes.

Our athlete development program consists of 30-minute sessions focused on speed, strength, agility and power to support performance in athletics and other sports.

The athlete development program is an opt-in programme, those that don’t want to join are able to complete a standard rotation.
