Welcome to PAC Academy – After-School Running
Train like an athlete – sprint, jump, race, repeat.
PAC Academy is a fun, fast-paced after-school running program designed for students in Years 3 to 6.
Our sessions combine athletics, games, and sport-specific fitness to help young athletes run better, move smarter, and build confidence – on and off the field.
Each session blends 4 key elements:
🏃♂️ Endurance – pacing, breathing, stamina-building
⚡ Sprint Power – explosive starts, speed over short distances
🔁 Running Drills & Technique – posture, rhythm, and mechanics
🎯 Game-Based Training
Our sessions help students improve for cross country, athletics, and also for field and court sports like:
AFL, Soccer, Netball, Basketball, Tennis, Hockey, and many more.
