Coaching is not specifically included in our regular weekly meets. We offer a range of coaching options to suit beginner, intermediate and more advanced athletes. Athletes who attend coaching often see vast improvements as they work on their technique.
All coaching sessions will be advertised here and via Team App. Please ensure that you sign up for the sessions to ensure your place as many sessions will have limited places.
If you have any queries, please contact our coaching coordinator at coaching@toowongharriers.org.au.
