Have
you ever wanted to feel the sand between your toes and you feel you have some speed about
you?
Then the beach section is for you!
Competition is either individual or part of a four-person relay team. Here at North
Cronulla we have a fine tradition of sprinters with many State and Australian medals to
our name. The competitors do most of their sprint training away from the beach with track
sessions and weight training as well. Once a week we train together on the sand for
technical and social skills building.
Beach flags are another area of the beach section. If you don’t mind getting down and
dirty then this is for you. The race is started by lying stomach down facing the opposite
direction and the flags (garden hose cut up) are set 20 metres away from you, when the
whistle goes so do you. Once again track work and weights are very important in this event
as well as technical training on the beach.
Our
Beach Section Captain Armando Rojas is keen to hear from anyone wanting to know more about
beach competition at North Cronulla.
