Coaching
Helensburgh AAC offers coaching in all running (track, road and cross country), throwing and long jump. Juniors may specialise in certain disciplines although we do encourage the juniors, especially the younger ones, to try a variety of events.
At present the Club does not provide coaching in hammer and pole vault. We are also limited in the coaching we can give in high jump, triple jump and discus.
The Juniors Coaches, Wilson Hamilton, Christopher Colmer, Sybil Kennedy, Paula McAllister and Elaine Hamilton have completed various UKA Level Event Coaching Courses and the Safeguarding and Protecting Children Course.
