Bio
This advanced squad aims to cater to those athletes who are particularly focused on regular structured training based around AV/AA sanctioned middle and long distance events (track, cross-country, and road). The aim of this squad is to have fun – with serious intent. That is best achieved by a supportive, inclusive and safe environment for all. A key component of what is expected within the training group is collaboration and support to each other in achieving their athletic goals, regular participation and communication.
As this squad looks to maintain individual attention to long-term athlete development, it currently operates on an invitation only basis - contact Tony to discuss.
Current intentions around your athletics, as opposed to past performances and standards are valued the most – hence the group has a diverse range of abilities and athletic backgrounds training at present.
