Senior Athletics / Sports & Field Events

Seven Hills Senior Track & Field Training is a structured after-school athletics program designed to help students improve their athletic performance, technique and confidence in a fun, supportive and encouraging environment.

Throughout Term 4, students will take part in a variety of track and field activities covering the key areas of running, jumping, throwing, coordination, agility, speed, power and general fitness. Sessions are designed to give students plenty of opportunities to practise correct technique, challenge themselves and work towards improving their own personal bests.

Training may include sprint starts, acceleration drills, running technique, relay activities, hurdles, long jump, standing jump activities, throwing technique, modified shot put, discus, javelin and other age-appropriate track and field events. Sessions also incorporate structured warm-ups, movement drills, fitness challenges and team-based activities to keep training engaging and enjoyable.

Our coaches focus on teaching students strong athletic fundamentals while creating a positive and inclusive training environment. Students are encouraged to develop at their own pace, support their teammates and build confidence participating in school athletics, interschool sport and other physical activities.

The program is suitable for students with a wide range of experience. Students do not need to already participate in athletics or be highly competitive. Beginners can develop the fundamentals in a comfortable environment, while more experienced athletes can continue improving their technique, speed, power, coordination and overall athletic performance.

Each session will generally include a structured warm-up, movement and coordination activities, focused skill development, track or field event practice, fitness or team challenges and a short cool-down. Activities will vary throughout the program so students experience a broad range of athletics disciplines rather than repeating the same event each week.
