Through LAPS, NSW Athletics aims to deliver an outstanding educational athletic program that provides a high-quality experience to every participant. The children involved will develop their running, jumping and throwing skills by participating in highly active sessions with Australian Athletics qualified coaches.

The NSW Athletics School Athletics Coaching program is a fundamental movement and event-specific athletics coaching program designed for primary schools. We offer fun, highly active sessions aimed at developing the fundamental skills of athletics and event-specific techniques that facilitate the confidence to participate. We use modified equipment to ensure students can participate safely and successfully.  Many schools utilise this program to prepare for their upcoming school athletics carnival and/or to develop students fundamental movement skills.

Both primary and high schools have utilised LAPS for their school representative athletics squad. Specific events may be chosen.

Here is the perfect opportunity to prepare your students for the athletics season. The aim of the program is to develop the confidence, skill and understanding to perform athletics events/s to a “no disqualification level”.

Our qualified coaches travel to schools and coach students in Sprints, Relays, Hurdles, Shot Put, Discus, Long Jump and High Jump. Coaching sessions are usually 30-45min. LANSW offers 3 main options:

Option 1:  5 Week Express Session (1 Event / Fundamental Movement Skill each week)

K-Yr2:
5 Weeks, 5 Fundamental Movement Skills Teaching: 5 events – Running Fundamentals, Jumping Fundamentals, Throwing Fundamentals, Relays and Athletics Games

Yr 3-6:
5 Weeks, 5 Event Coaching Sessions: Sprints, Long Jump, High Jump, Shot Put and Discus 

 

Option 2: Individualised School Program

Here is a flexible option so that we can cater to every school’s needs! The school chooses the event/s to be coached, the number of times the event/s are to be coached and the number of weeks of the program. Coaches can visit the school for a one-off session (eg Athletics School Incursion) or regular sessions over many weeks! This option can also be utilised for representative teams coaching.

 

Option 3: Combination

Schools may choose the Express Session and add extra weeks for the opportunity to extend the program for repeat sessions.

*We encourage teachers to shadow our coaches during these sessions and utilise the opportunity for an informal teacher in-service.
