Athletics

CCA Overview

The Athletics CCA in GMS(P) is based upon the core Olympic motto of 'Citius, Altius, Fortius' (Faster, Higher, Stronger).  We aim to nurture each athlete to be fundamentally stronger both physically and mentally. Regardless of their individual starting points, each athlete is given the opportunity to maximise their potential through friendly and competitive platforms, both zonal and nation-wide.

In alignment with the national framework of developing all-rounded athletes, all members of the CCA are given opportunities to hone their sprinting, throwing and jumping skills through regular training sessions.  During the off-season, athletes are also exposed to other games and sports through cross-training, a tool which also encourages a strong team spirit and sense of belonging to the CCA.

We believe that each athlete is unique in terms of their aspirations and potential.  Through the myriad of learning opportunities offered in Athletics, we strive to be the platform for members to grow in friendship, body and mind.
