Winter Clinics - 2003/2004

In 2003, the coaches of Comox Valley Cougars proposed a set of Clinics for for coaches and older athletes (1990 and older) to make use of the expertise of the current coaches to help train less experienced coaches and to give high level coaching to the athletes.

The original format was to have one sprints event, one jump event and one throws event at each of several monthly clinics starting in November. The response was favorable but few persons signed up for the November clinic. A Throws only clinic was successfully held at the end of November so the format was revised to have two Sprints/Hurdles Clinics, two Jumps Clinics and four Throws Clinics by the end of March. Weather and increasing attendance led to the following revised Schedule

Winter Clinic Schedule for 2003/2004

Additional Clinic, May 15, 2004

Many heartfelt thanks from all the coaches and athletes who attended go out to Tony Dickson, Graham Morfitt and John May from the Comox Valley Cougars who organised the clinics. Also to John Root, throws coach from Peninsula Track and to all the Comox Valley cougar athletes who helped out.

Even more thanks go to Christine Morfitt and her helpers who organised the food and drink for all the clinics.
