Southern Stars (u13/u16) - Training with Seniors Coaches'
Coaching is open to ALL Waverley Little Athletes to u16. However, as kids reach the above age group, quite often they may wish to train with our Younger Seniors athletes and Athletics Waverley senior’s coaches. Maybe you'de like to train with Madeleine Pape’s former coach (Terry McGrath) - who took her to the 2008 Olympic Games in the 800m? Please the coaching co-ordinator or speak with the senior’s coaches down at the track. They will be more than willing to discuss continuing your training with the Seniors!
