Young Athletes Induction Group:

Ages 9-12, all events

Tuesday at the Dell, with some groups on Thursday.

Children can try all aspects of athletics while having fun in a safe environment. All are expected to compete on the track in the summer and cross-country and indoor sports hall in the winter.

This is a very popular group and, regrettably, we do sometimes have a waiting list for entry.
