Off Leash Athletics provides athletics based coaching and training. Our focus is not on gym work, we focus entirely on track work with drills and exercises specific to track and field events. Our dynamic warm-up is a trademark of our squad. It is typically a pretty good sign when you see others watching and adopting what you do, even the ones that used to laugh at us.
There is no quick fix or miracle training in athletics. If you believe a few weeks of training is going to turn your child in to a school athletics champion then we aren’t what you are looking for. Any coach that tells you they can is simply full of it and themselves. Genuinely, if you want to excel in athletics, you are looking at several years of coaching and training to become the very best you can be. Your attendance at training is expected, 2-3 times per week, 52 weeks of the year. Your willingness to be your very best will be explored. Your body will adapt and improve and we will give you another gentle nudge to improve a bit more. If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
Our goal is to develop our squad members in to high level athletes who will still be around competing when the majority of others have dropped out of the sport. Our athletes that have stuck with it and taken their training seriously have developed in to excellent athletes. In fact, every squad member who has trained with us for a period of time has progressed to at least State level competition with some reaching National level competition. That doesn’t mean we expect this of all our athletes but it does go to show that what we are doing works.
We offer genuine exercises that will improve your fitness, speed, technique, mobility and confidence. These attributes are essential in all sports, not just athletics.
If it was easy everyone would be doing it.
The only thing we ask of our athletes is they turn up, try their best and in return we commit to helping them become the best that they can be.
At Off Leash Athletics, we specialise in sprints, sprint hurdles, block starts and the horizontal jumps. Our drills are event specific and focus on physical literacy, co-ordination and efficiency. We don’t just doing something cause it looks pretty or everyone else is doing it. There is purpose to what we do.
Our training sessions not only take place at the all weather Les O’Brien Athletics Precinct. We also train on nearby ovals where the ground is softer and provides a different surface to get more out of the training session.
