Themed Workshops
Senior County Officials will run workshops themed on what the judges are looking for. While your coach is interested in your technique, with a view to improving distance thrown, or time achieved, an event judge is only concerned that your effort is within the rules of the sport. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the rules of the various events, and to be more confident when helping out at our championships.
This is the fourth year of the series, and Cork Athletics welcomes all returning members, along with new members joining for their first time.
These sessions are open to all agre groups: Juvenile, Junior, Senior & Masters - If you'd like to perfect your technique, then do come along.
Aims
The aim of the sessions is to raise the technical standard in these events among Cork athletes, and to provide access to coaching and equipment in these events.
Beginners and improvers are welcome. Club coaches or parents who may wish to come along on any of the days are also welcome.
Each of these disciplines; Hurdles, High Jump, Shot, Discus, Javelin and Hammer, will be covered on each of the training days.
Registration Cost: €5 per athlete per day
These Technical Coaching Events are confined to Athletics Ireland registered athletes who are registered with Cork Athletics clubs.
