Training is offered by Athletics Australia/NSW accredited coach Damien Duncan. If you are a Randwick Botany little athletics member there is no fee, however if you are a dual registered member of another athletics club or a new South Sydney Club member the training provided will be $5.00 per session or $75.00 for the season as there is a council fee to keep the track open.

Our training sessions are interesting and varied, and designed to cater for all levels of athletes. Our members range from casual beginners, to young athletes to seasoned athletes with an array of ambitions; so whatever your ability or training goals, you are guaranteed to get something out of every session.
We encourage athletes once they commence to train regularly and often to maximise their potential. We also encourage the more serious athletes to keep a training and performance diary in which they record their season goals and objectives along with things like their diet, injuries, setbacks ,etc, etc, so at the end of the season they can look back and track their progression from where they started to where they end up.
Ultimately as an athlete the end goal is all about personal performance, all athletes progress in stages and at different levels and all have different skill sets however if you can aim to continually beat your own personal bests as opposed to allowing the performance of others to dictate your goals you will go a long way towards being the best athlete you can be.
Throughout the season our sessions vary in intensity and we attempt to create an attitude of comradery between athletes of all ages, because whilst athletics is a solo sport it is always good to know you have others in your corner with your best interests at heart.
If you want to train with us don’t be shy, turn up introduce yourself and join in. For those who for example may have conflicting timetables I am also prepared to draft a program for you to suit your needs and requirements.
