| About: |
| I have been associated with DVAC since the late 1980’s. This involvement includes: Competing in middle, distance and cross country events for many years. Registrar and committee positions including present. Accredited Coach of middle and distance events at DVAC. I am proud to be a member of a Coaching Team co-ordinated by Max Balchin that nurtures athletes to be the very best that they can be. As teachers and coaches we strive to provide an environment that is inclusive of all abilities, gender and age. Our large squad is ably managed due to understanding of the athletes’ needs and goals, creative and detailed programs and focus on ‘growing’ the young person. For many years the strength of this squad has been in the connections made between the athletes and their support of one another in training, competing and socially. Preparation and pathways to compete at Athletics Victoria events, National and even international competitions are supported and encouraged. The size of the Squad is determined by the DVAC community needs. There is no coaching fee charged for athletes who are competing financial members of DVAC. Training is conducted Tuesday and Thursday from 4:45 until 7:00pm at Willinda. (May include later times for specific needs.) Additional coaching sessions are held away from Willinda on Wednesdays and Saturday mornings and as needs arise. |
