Do Your Kids Love Running?
Designed by accredited coaches and based on research in children’s physical development, our program is safe, fun, and driven by passion! Tailored specifically for kids aged 7-13, we focus on:
- Age-appropriate training to enhance speed, endurance, strength, and agility
- Fun activities that develop self-confidence and resillience for well-being
- A supportive environment that encourages friendship and personal growth
In contrast to other sports what makes us uniquely special is our focus on games, skills, and activities that emphasise running! Learn more about our Game Sense approach and the FIT model.

Frequently asked questions
This program is designed for children of various ages and abilities, however we typically see kids around 7-13. For information about other age groups, please get in contact.
Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. We understand some parents work during this time, so it's essential you organise someone to mind your child, such as a relative or friend, while they attending coaching.
While our program is designed for the general public, we encourage parents to discuss reasonable accomodations in advance. With mindful onboarding, we have seen these kids do well in this program.
You can select any event then click on the ticket button. As you go through the checkout, there will be an option to choose any of our available sessions. We can also change your session post-sale if you made a mistake.
"Cancelled" means not enough participants signed up for a particular session, you can either reschedule to another available session time or request a refund. "Reschedule" means you can attend another session in the same week. "Postponed" means the session will happen at a later time.
Free trials are not available as sessions are provided by an independent coach rather than a club. You can sign up for one month to give us a try with no ongoing commitment and zero cancellation fees.
Unfortunately this program is not eligible for the FairPlay voucher since we provide just coaching and do not operate as a club. This is something we would like to provide in the future, so please reach out via the contact form to receive updates.
If you receive our emails or follow us on Facebook, look out for codes you can enter manually during checkout. Public promo codes may be available through EventBrite and these are applied automatically. In some situations you may need to apply a code before certain private tickets become visible.
We don't charge a membership or sign up fee; but if you are attending one of our sessions at QSAC, there is a track entry fee of $6 per athlete that is paid on admittance to the venue.
Please get in contact to discuss session availability and prices.
If you have any sessions remaining from previous years, you will be able to use them during select periods throughout 2025. These periods will be announced by email, but typically occur around school holiday. During each school term, please buy the respective monthly ticket to continue coaching.
Each session includes a warm up, games & exercises, finishing with a cool down. We use games to develop sprinting and distance running and to improve FUNdamental movement skills. This program includes aspects of Mobility, Stability, Agility, Speed, Strength, Power for a well rounded aspiring athlete
This program focuses on fundamental movement patterns to naturally improve common faults. In our group sessions we do not address specific personal technical issues an individual might have. For specific and personalised coaching of technique, please see our Private Coaching options.
You are more than welcome to make the trip to our unique kids running group in Brisbane. Why not make it a weekly family night out?
Yes, I am an independent coach offering coaching to the public to improve the skills of beginner runners. You don't have to leave your current centre or club, this program will compliment your child's development.
