In the Primary Years, the focus is on building strong athletic foundations and fostering a love for sport and movement. Students train in ability-appropriate groups, ensuring that each child develops confidence, coordination, and enjoyment at a pace suited to their readiness.
At this stage, students:
- Develop basic technical skills and an understanding of sport-specific rules
- Engage in age-appropriate physical conditioning to build coordination, balance, agility, strength, and endurance
- Learn foundational mental skills such as confidence-building, emotional regulation, focus through play, and positive self-talk
- Are introduced to injury awareness, safe movement, and healthy recovery habits
- Learn simple, practical principles of nutrition and hydration for energy, growth, and well-being
- Participate in friendly, development-focused competitions that emphasize enjoyment, teamwork, and sportsmanship
The Primary Years lay the groundwork for lifelong athletic engagement and prepare students to transition confidently into more structured training.
