🚨POSTPONED 🚨

Thank you to everyone who expressed interest in the upcoming CAD course. We have made the decision to postpone until a date in November.
We will share the new date once confirmed.

Want to feel more confident coaching young athletes?

The CAD Level 1 – Children's Events Course is coming to Dunedin this weekend and is designed for coaches, parents, teachers, volunteers, and older athletes who want to develop their coaching knowledge and better support young people in athletics.

📅 25-26 September 📍 Dunedin

CAD Level 1 bridges the gap between ASB Run Jump Throw and competitive athletics, covering:

Sprints & Hurdles
High Jump & Long Jump
Shot Put & Discus
Athlete Development
The Role of the Coach

This practical course aligns with the Balance is Better philosophy and focuses on helping coaches create fun, inclusive and development-focused experiences for young athletes.

Many of our clubs are looking for more confident coaches and helpers. Whether you're already coaching or thinking about getting involved, this is a great opportunity to upskill.
