Yass is now a little FASTer

On the request of the local organising community for Yass Athletics, part of Ginninderra Athletics, FAST Running Coaches Jessy Hynes, Rose Catejan and Steve Dodt, attended regular training sessions at Victoria Park in Yass to help mentor and train kids in the local community.

Yass Athletes have a long association with finding a diamond in the rough and the 20 kids who regularly attended sessions throughout the season certainly had a great time and learnt much from their FAST mentors.

A number of Junior Coaches from Yass Athletics also attended and were eager to learn more. They even attended the Level 1 Coaches Course at the University of Canberra so that they could guide future seasons for their own community.

As a result of the community engagement, Yass Athletics didn’t fold and now they have a wealth of experience behind them in the years to come.
