training and coaching at inglewood athletics
Family-friendly training days and enthusiastic, talented coaches
You know what they say, kids learn best when their teachers love teaching, and that’s exactly what happens when your athlete comes to train at the Inglewood Athletics Centre.
Our coaches love athletics and love helping your athletes to be their best.
We have accredited coaches, enthusiastic parents, ex-athletes, and current senior athletes who volunteer their time to help your child grow in confidence on the track and in the field.
