TRAINING FOR GUNLAC ATHLETES
​

Training is available for all GUNLAC athletes U7 and older, free of charge. Our Coaches Rodney and Simone are both qualified coaches and run sessions with the support of parent assistants. 

Sessions are held during the season EVERY THURSDAY 5.15PM - 6.30PM at AMAROO OVAL.

Parents must stay at training with their children, and we appreciate parent support to ensure that their children are well focused and behaved during training, and following safety advice with all equipment.
