Train Together. Improve Together. Achieve More.

At Next Gen Athletics, we believe some of the best improvements happen when athletes train together.

Our group coaching sessions bring athletes of different ages and abilities together in a fun, supportive, and motivating environment where everyone is encouraged to improve, challenge themselves, and enjoy the process.

Whether you're just getting started in athletics, preparing for your next school carnival, competing at a higher level or working towards a personal running goal, our experienced coaches are here to help you reach your potential.

Our goal is simple: to help every athlete become fitter, faster, stronger and more confident, while making training something they genuinely look forward to each week.

More Than Just a Training Session

Being part of a team feels special.

It's the friendships formed between repetitions, the encouragement from teammates, the excitement of achieving a personal best, and the motivation that comes from training alongside people who share your passion.

At Next Gen Athletics, we've worked hard to create an environment where athletes feel comfortable, supported and excited to train.

We want every athlete to leave their session feeling like they've improved, learned something new, and had a great time doing it.

Why Choose Our Group Sessions?

  • Expert, Personalised Coaching: Just because you're training in a group doesn't mean you're treated like a number. Our coaches provide individual feedback, technical guidance and encouragement to help every athlete improve at their own pace.

  • Develop Speed, Endurance & Technique: Our structured sessions help athletes improve their running mechanics, speed, endurance, strength, and overall athletic performance.

  • Train Alongside Like-Minded Athletes: Being surrounded by others with similar goals creates a motivating environment where athletes push each other to improve and celebrate one another's achievements.

  • Build Confidence & Friendships: Athletics is about more than results. Our sessions help athletes develop confidence, resilience, teamwork, and friendships that extend beyond the track.

  • Enjoy the Process: We believe athletes perform at their best when they enjoy what they're doing. That's why we combine purposeful, high-quality coaching with an environment that makes athletes want to keep coming back.

What Do We Coach?

Our group sessions cater to a wide range of athletic disciplines, from sprinting and jumping to middle- and long-distance running.

Sprint Training

Whether you're looking to improve your 100m, 200m, or 400m performance, our sprint sessions focus on developing acceleration, maximum speed, running technique, and speed endurance.

From beginners learning the fundamentals to experienced athletes preparing for competition, we provide coaching suited to each athlete's ability and goals.

Middle & Long-Distance Running

Looking to improve your 800m or 1500m time? Training for a cross-country event? Or preparing for something bigger, like a half marathon or marathon?

Our distance coaching helps runners of different ages and abilities develop their endurance, running efficiency, pacing, and overall performance.

We support athletes preparing for school athletics competitions, Little Athletics, cross-country events, road races and longer-distance challenges.

Whether you're chasing a personal best or working towards completing your first major running event, we can help you develop the skills, confidence and training foundations to achieve your goals.

Long Jump & Triple Jump

Our jumping sessions focus on developing the technical skills, speed, coordination and explosive power needed to jump further.

Athletes work on their approach runs, take-off mechanics, jumping technique and overall confidence, with coaching suited to both beginners and experienced competitors.

Our sprint and jump programs complement each other, allowing athletes to develop across multiple events while enjoying the benefits of training with a supportive squad.
