Club-aligned coaches
Coaches listed here hold accreditation with a professional body and have their Working With Children Check status recorded and monitored by Athletics Wollongong. Note that the coaching services that they offer are independent from Athletics Wollongong. Though many of our members have benefitted from their skills, it is not necessary to become a member of our Club to train with them. Get in contact with a coach to find out more details on what they can offer! Several other coaches prefer not to list their details online; reach out and we can get in touch with them on your behalf, if you'd be suited.
