PILATES @ BLOCK ATHLETICS!
We had the privilege of hosting 'Hockeyroo' Sophie Taylor at Block in July, who led us through an amazing Pilates mat session. Sophie works with our good friends www.bestbody.com.au and was kind enough to get our Sunday morning session started with some great new exercises!

ATHLETE OF THE YEAR AWARDS - 2018/2019
Block hosted its annual end of year awards event in April, recognising the Senior and Junior Athletes of the year, along with the Coaches award, Agility and Beep test winners for 2018/2019. Congratulations to Imogen who won the Senior Athlete of the Year award. Imogen has had another impressive season with SLSWA, winning her second state beach sprint title. Imogen has continued to improve as a consequence of her passion and attitude towards training. Imogen has shown great leadership throughout the year amongst the group always assisting the junior Block athletes. Next season Imogen will be part of our mentor program here at Block, with a focus on becoming our first Junior coach. Ethan took out this year’s Junior Athlete of the Year Award with all of his hard work not going unnoticed. An athlete who loves his running and goes beyond to perfect his technique when he is not training is a true inspiration to us all at Block. Ethan was again very successful in this year’s athletics carnivals and has shown excellent sportsmanship at all times. Coach Gary of all people was this year’s Coaches Award winner! It’s not often this happens, but Gary has worked tirelessly this season overcoming injuries, supporting the group, remaining positive, motivated and extremely resilient - A true role model for the group. Congratulations to our Beep test winners; Seb and Lara, who pushed the Block Beep test groups to the limits. Also to our Agility test winners; Gareth, Imogen, Oscar and Ivy who seemed to effortlessly combat the tests we ran this season. What a great season! Thanks to all of our athletes, parents and families for always creating such a positive and friendly environment here at Block Athletics. We look forward to seeing everyone back in June as we commence winter training for the 2019/2020 season!
