The Pedrick-Launder Memorial Library

The Library is named after two coaches who offered so much to the South Australian athletics coaching community - Roger Pedrick and Alan Launder.  

Roger Pedrick had a veracity for learning which resulted in the creation of an impressive library which has been donated to the coaches of Athletics SA. Roger not only read all the latest publications but quite often would challenge them.  When you spoke to Roger, it was pretty obvious that he was well read in many aspects of coaching. 

Alan Launder, coach and author is acknowledged for his contribution to coach education not just locally but internationally as well.  He was the author of numerous papers and books and is most notably recognised for Play Practice, a groundbreaking book in helping coaches and teachers teach and motivate students and athletes. 

The Library is available to access during competitions at the SA Athletics Stadium and normal office hours.  To gain access please contact the Coaching Coordinator, 8354 3477. 

We hope that more books will be donated in the future, and funds may be raised to purchase new resources.

Below is a document listing all books currently available in the library.
