Off Leash Athletics is based in Albury NSW and offers Coaching for athletes and sportspeople who genuinely want to explore becoming the very best that they can be.  Our focus has shifted from large group sessions with athletes of all ages and abilities to creating a small, dedicated, high functioning squad of athletes who desire to be their best.
We specialise in sprints, sprint hurdles and horizontal jumps for athletes aged 12 years and older.


 

There are no quick fixes or short cuts to any form of success.  Dedication and development over an extended period of time will yield the results.  Take Alex for example.  His State titles, national silver medal and subsequent selection on an Australian U20 Team took three years of development with us.  Just over two of those three years were spent chasing other athletes in the squad and then it all clicked.

Fast forward to January 2024.  Alex had now spent four years training with us.  His progression of legal 100m PBs is detailed below.
2022:  11.13s  |  10.90s  |  10.69s
2023:  10.51  |  10.44s  |  10.42s
2024:  10.29s  |  10.15s.

With two 100m runs at the ACT State Champs on 27/1/24, Alex went from being ranked #89 fastest all time Australian to #9 fastest all time Australian.
The 100m final was an amazing race to watch and be a part of with Alex finishing in 2nd place having lead the race for 90m.
1st, 2nd and 3rd place all ran PBs and all ran 10.15s.  0.001s separated 1st and 2nd.  0.002s separated 2nd and 3rd.

On top of this amazing result, Alex was invited to join the Australia mens relay training squad with an opportunity to be a part of the Australian Mens Relay Team to compete at the World Relay Championships in May 2024.

More than just a training session, Off Leash athletes are 'Coached' under the watchful eye of our Athletics Australia Accredited Coaches.

Prospective Off Leash Athletes are welcome to come and try a session with us free of charge.

Off Leash Athletics Coaching compliments any sport at any level.  What we do is relevant to many sports and not just for track and field athletes.  Apart from lawn bowls, I can't think of too many sports where speed, power, co-ordination and positive mindset are not highly desirable attributes.

Come and join in the fun, make new like minded friends and prepare to be the best you can be.  You will train alongside some of the very best athletes in the area.
If you think you have got what it takes and you are motivated enough to train hard on a weekly basis then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
