We hope that your child is enjoying the weekly Friday evening athletics. With the continued easing of restrictions, it is expected that juvenile club competition will take place this summer.
The Connacht Athletics Board has tentatively set the following dates for holding the 2021 outdoor Track and Field Championships at Athlone IT:
Saturday, July 10th: Under 11 two-event ‘Team Games’ (for children born in 2011)
Saturday, July 17th: Under 14 – Under 19 (children born in or before 2008)
Sunday, July 18th: Under 12 & Under 13 (children born in 2010 or 2009)
If your child is in the under 11 – 13 age categories, and is interested in competing, please complete the form below which contains the list of events (maximum 2 events for children born in 2011). We request that it be submitted by Saturday, June 12th.
There are a greater number of events in the under 14 – 19 age categories and more information regarding these will be communicated to those members at Friday evening training.
Additional Training Session Every Sunday
In advance of the above dates, an additional weekly training session will take place for all age groups of under 11-19 on Sunday mornings at 10am at the Mall commencing on June 13th. For children intending on competing at the Championships, attendance at the Sunday session is essential to help better prepare for competition. The Connacht event also serves as a qualifier to the Nationals which will take place in August.
