September Holidays · Frankston & Mornington

Two weeks off.
Or two weeks ahead.

Little Aths starts in October. Footy preseason starts in November. This is the quietest the calendar gets all year, and the best two weeks to get in front of both.

Bookings close Friday 18 September

Pick the one that suits your athlete

Three different sessions. Come to one, or come to all three.

All bookings close Friday 18 September, the last day of Term 3. That afternoon I confirm which sessions are running and cancel the ones that have not filled, so book before the break to make sure your athlete's session is one of them.

How's Your Hurdles?

Little Aths starts in a couple of weeks. Most kids will learn to hurdle on the day, in front of everyone.

Jumping a hurdle costs speed every single time. Attacking one does not. This workshop teaches the difference, so your athlete gets to round one already knowing what they are doing. A full ninety minutes with six athletes, so every one of them gets hands-on coaching over the barrier for the whole session, not a spot in a queue.

LEAD LEG

Toes up, knees up. Getting the lead leg over fast and flat instead of floating up and over the top.

TRAIL LEG

The whip through that most athletes never get taught, and the one that keeps them running instead of landing.

3 AND 4 STEP RHYTHM

Hurdle heights and spacings change as an athlete moves up the age groups, so they learn to alternate and lead with either leg. Most never get taught this, and it is what keeps their rhythm working next season and the one after.

A TIMED RUN

They finish over the barriers at speed with a number on the clock, so the improvement is something they can see.

Who is taking the session
Coach Alistair Tait

Hurdling is the most technical thing your athlete will do all season, and it is the easiest one to be taught badly. Bad habits learned in week one take years to undo. So this session is coached by someone who has actually run the event.

  • Former 400m hurdler, coached by Olympic level hurdles coaches
  • Level 4 High Performance sprints and hurdles coach
  • Coach at Frankston Athletic Club, right here at Ballam Park
  • Extensive coaching experience across sprints and hurdles
  • Current hurdles coach for the Haileybury Athletics team

This is why the group is capped at six. Every athlete gets eyes on their trail leg, every rep.

Team Sport Speed

Preseason starts in November. It is not where you get fit, it is where you find out if you are.

Season has just finished and preseason kicks off in November. The players who turn up ready are the ones who did something in between. This session is that something. One hour, $33, and the cheapest insurance against a rough November you will find.

ACCELERATION

The first three steps. Winning the ball, winning the contest, and breaking away when the gap opens.

CHANGE OF DIRECTION

Stopping, turning and going again without losing half a second every time.

REPEAT-EFFORT SPEED

Speed endurance built around what the game actually asks for. Fast in the last quarter, not just the first.

RUNNING MECHANICS

A coach's eye on how they move, and the one change that will make the biggest difference over summer.

Speed + Power Testing

What is your athlete's real top speed? Most parents have never actually seen the number.

In one session your athlete gets real data, and you get to see exactly where the quick wins are. No guessing, and a written report lands in your inbox within 48 hours.

Timing gates, not a stopwatch. The number on the report is the number that happened.
20m SPRINT

The first three steps, how explosively they get off the mark and win the contest in every sport.

FLYING 30m

Maximum velocity, their true top-end speed once they're up and running at full flight.

JUMP POWER

The explosive power behind their acceleration and change of direction.

YOUR OWN LOGIN AND REPORT

Not just a number on the day. Every athlete gets their own login and a written report of their results and the one thing that will help them most, in your inbox within 48 hours, so you still have it in six months when you want to compare.

Who tests, and where the report comes from
Coach Alistair Tait

A speed test is only worth as much as the measurement behind it. Before coaching, Al spent 25 years as an instrumentation and calibration technician, which is the trade of making sure instruments tell the truth. That is why the number on your report means something, and why it will still mean something when you test again next year. Getting the measurement right is the slow, careful part, and so is reading it properly. The bit in between, turning your athlete's numbers into something you can act on, is the part we have made fast. Every report still goes past Al before it reaches you.

  • Bachelor of Sports Coaching, High Distinction
  • Instrumentation and calibration technician, 25 years in the field
  • Reports built from your athlete's own results through our AI-integrated system, then checked by Al before they send

Your athlete's own numbers, and what they mean, in your inbox within 48 hours. Because the quicker we process the results, the quicker they get the program they need, and the sooner they can get to work on the areas that matter most to them.

An honest note on age

We compare results against published research data, and that comparison only starts to mean much from about 15, once puberty has done most of its work. Younger than that, the number that matters is your athlete's own baseline and what changes between tests. We will not hand you a percentile that does not mean anything yet. Under 15, the report tells you where they are now and what to work on. From 15, it also tells you how that stacks up.

The full journey · Term 4 enrolment

Enrol for the term and your athlete gets My Athletic Journey, their own skill-development journey in the app. Every session, every win, visible at home, not just on the track.

Why parents start here

"I just wanted her to enjoy it again, and to trust whoever was coaching her."

That's what most parents really want. Not a hard sell. A safe, fun session where their child gets taught something properly, sees a real number, and walks off the track standing a little taller. The best way to know if we're the right fit is to come and see. When your athlete has a win, we both win.
