Track and Field training occurs at Mile End Stadium.
New members should ask for Alf Vickers or Margaret Nelson when arriving
at reception. They will give you details and guide you to a training
group. In general, training times are from 5.30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please note that we
are unable to take children until they are 9 years old. During school
holidays, some groups may change training times. The sessions are as follows (coaches in brackets):
UK Athletics rules generally forbid under-11s in traditional competition. It is our policy to encourage multi-event training for all under 13s. We expect parents to attend with children under 11 and do not allow children under 9 to attend. To expand our activities for this age group we want more parents to get involved but you will be asked to complete our volunteer declaration form as part of our child protection policy. Youth Competition If you join the Club, we aim to provide a minimum programme of one race per month. Through the winter we do cross-country and road running offering races in the Metropolitain League. In the summer we mainly focus on stadium based track and field competition in Southern Divisions of the Youth Development League, Throughout the year we offer entry to County, and for the very best, to national competitions. |
