Junior Edge is targeted towards students in Years 3 and 4. This program is a lead into the key skills and knowledge they will need as they transition to Ivanhoe Edge in Years 5 and 6.
What is Junior Edge?
Junior Edge is designed specifically for younger students. Junior Edge offers 1:1 or small group coaching based on the students’ interests, with all participants grouped by skill development level. Our strength and conditioning sessions are tailored to their developmental age, ensuring a fun and engaging experience. Students take part in specifically designed skill sessions, alongside a fun and engaging, age-appropriate strength and conditioning program. For Junior Edge sessions, the coaches will collect the students from a designated location and take them to their session. Students are required to wear their Ivanhoe Edge t-shirt and school sports uniform to their session. In the case of wet weather, the coaches will modify the sessions to be indoors or under cover. Parents are not required to attend the session.
