Building Foundations for Young Athletes
Our FAST Kids Program is crafted specifically for children under 12, focusing on their unique developmental needs in a fun, supportive environment. With small group sizes, we ensure each child receives the guidance they need to build essential skills, confidence, and a love for movement. FAST Kids (6-12 years) introduces the fundamentals of running, helping children stay active, learn coordination, and develop the foundation for all sports.
School Term Sessions
FAST Kids sessions run throughout the school term to support children preparing for Little Athletics, school sports, or cross-country. Conveniently located in South Canberra (Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays), Belconnen (Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays), North Canberra (Sundays and Wednesdays) and Gungahlin (Mondays and Wednesdays), all weekday sessions start after 4:00pm and last 45 minutes. Our popular Sunday session at 11:30 am (AIS) offers another engaging opportunity, along with our specialised Accelerate Clinics.
School Holiday Programs
During school holidays, we offer our Accelerate: Canberra Sprint & Agility Clinics on both the north and south sides of Canberra. Open to children ages 6-18, Accelerate Clinics provide expert training in warming up, acceleration, agility, reaction time, and speed development. These sessions are perfect for any child looking to improve their speed and running skills, with techniques that easily apply to multiple sports.
Building success
Many of our FAST Kids have gone on to represent the ACT at the national level, with some winning medals and reaching finals. While our primary focus is fun and development, we’re proud to see the skills they gain in FAST Kids setting them up for success in sport and beyond.
