Aussie Aths is a health and fitness program for Aussie kids aged 5 to 13 years based on athletics. It’s about learning to go faster, higher, further in a fun environment that kids of all abilities will enjoy.

Aussie Aths develops the ABCs – agility, balance, coordination and speed of every child in a fun, game-based program. It’s not standing in a line, it’s not lining up for a race. Think of it like swimming lessons, but for running.

Aussie Aths is great fun and will help Aussie kids be more athletic in everyday life and in whatever sport they love.
