We have the best coaches including one who is a New Zealand Record holder!!

Congratulations to Christine Mccahill who threw a massive 9.98m in 60 shotput! This record was 32 years old held by a lady called Miriam Stanley who used to coach her when she was a kid! So if you are serious about your thowing she is the woman to see!!

We still need 3 more coaches and you do not have to be record holders I promise!! Get in touch! Just 3 more!

Hey Team,

We still need a secretary (1 - 5 hours a week) and we need 1 more committee member. We also need a minimum of 2 more coaches. That is 4 more volunteers or the season will not go ahead. We are in very real danger of not being able to go ahead.

Please reach out if you can help.

Don't forget our AGM tonight, (Tuesday) at 6pm at Stoked Public house. We're looking for a new secretary and committee members. The secretary involves approximately 1 - 3 hours per week leading up to and during the season.

A week ago our rising star Neela and her coach Lindsay got a fantastic opportunity... hear about it below.

Wow what a great day Neela and I had with Athletics NZ lead sprints and hurdles coach James Mortimer at AUT MILLENNIUM in Auckland. We had a one on one, hour and a half coaching session with James for Neela to install and gain some valuable finer points in her training and for me to hone my coaching skills. James was more than reassuring that Neela is on track to not just compete but to do well at the NZ Secondary Schools track and field champs at Cooks garden in Wanganui in early December. We both got so much more from this coaching session, more than we imagined. James also acknowledged how far Neela has come with only one season of competition and coaching behind her.

Don't forget AGM is tomorrow evening!

Way to go Zoe Hobbs! What a legend 👏 🙌 💙

Zoe trained on our field some time ago and her dad was stoked to have somewhere she could train when they came here for their holiday!

We all start somewhere and we are blessed to have the wonderful coaches and volunteers to guide and inspire our talented tamariki!!

Zoe Hobbs produced a 'wild' result to claim New Zealand’s first 100m gold.
