📣Calling all athletes in school years 4 to 10!💥SPORTSHALL COMPETITION OPPORTUNITY 💥👉Is your son/daughter interested in taking part in some fun and friendly Sportshall athletics competitions? Sportshall athletics is just what it says - indoor athletics taking place in a sports hall. Every year, we compete in the Gloucestershire Sportshall league in three competitions through November and December. The competitions are open to all U11, U13 and U15 athletes. Its fun and friendly with a great team atmosphere, and you can compete as an individual and as part of a team. Each Sportshall competition consists of sprints, throws, jumps, agility and plenty of relays. For those who have competed through the summer season it's a way of continuing with competitive athletics over the winter. And for those who haven't yet competed it's a fun introduction to representing Yate Athletic Club. All children attending U11 academy sessions will practice the Sportshall events later on in October, so they'll be familiar with the events and hopefully keen to compete. The dates are all Sundays: • 16th November - Stroud• 30th November - TBC• 14st December - TBC Under 11s will take place in the morning and U13/15 in the afternoon. The Team Manager for all 3 age groups (U11, U13 and U15) is Jo Raper. Trudie Thornell and Nick Bishop are the Team Captains for the U11 teams and will be helping with the organisation and supporting the athletes on the day. If you're interested in competing in any of the age categories or have any questions, please contact Jo asap. JoRaper19@gmail.com / 07799 410608.

Each competition costs £6 per athlete but the club pay for this, so there's no additional costs (once you're a member with a vest!).
