"Building Running Confidence"

Welcome to Palm Beach Sprint Club, my name is Colleen Tukino or otherwise known as "Coach Wal", I am a Mum of three active children all whom share the love of running.  I am an Accredited Athletics Coach & Nipper Beach Coach. My primary goal is to build  "Running Confidence" in young children by teaching them the grass root fundamentals of sprinting, with a strong focus on improving technique, speed & agility, which inturn builds confidence that they can carry on through to their chosen sport & apply to everyday life.

We cater to all children, all levels & all sports, from ages 5yrs to 9yrs in our Junior Sprint Club & 10yrs to 15yrs in our Tween/Teen Sprint Club sessions.

Running is key & learning to do it efficiently & correctly is a game changer for children & their confidence no matter what their chosen sport. I started out in little Athletics & like most younger siblings watching my older brother & sister until it was my time to give it a go & loved it & then as I grew up & gained more running confidence I took on more sports & had a go at touch football, netball, soccer, basketball, surfing, you name it I tried it, but wasn't until Beach Sprinting that I slowly started to really excel, going on to win numerous State, National & back to back World Titles in Beach Sprinting, representing Queensland & Australia multiple times throughout my career.  

Since coming back to my athletics roots and having children of my own I am passionate that all children should be taught how to RUN!! My coaching style is , I am a fun, passionate, fair & firm Coach , with my aim to instill & inspire confidence in each child I coach so to unlock their potential.  

See you on the track!!
