A great session of long jump training🏃‍♀️🦘

Last Saturday, our athletes had the opportunity to work with Paul Hallett, one of our local accredited athletics coaches, who provided some great coaching on some fundamentals of long jump.

The session focused on learning the correct position in the air and landing position, helping athletes understand how to set themselves up for a stronger and more effective jump.

Thanks to Paul for sharing his knowledge and helping our athletes develop their skills! 👏

Here are some photos from the session 📸
