Juniors

The club has a thriving Junior Section for all abilities and from every background, with a membership nearing 200, and is still expanding. The aim is to give members basic instruction in all athletic disciplines, to encourage them to attain a general level of fitness and the athletes and coaches all enjoy a multi disciplined coaching approach to athletics throughout the year in preparation for appropriate competition. In 2004 the club achieved the prestigious Sport England Clubmark accreditation

The Junior Section meet on Tuesday and Thursday at the Jubilee track at Stratford High School Track and they also use the Sports Hall in the winter. The Junior Section is affiliated to the following organisations:

• Heart of England League. Division 1 for both Boys and Girls
• National Young Athletics Boys/Girls League East Midlands Div 1
• Warwickshire Sports Hall League
• West Midlands Cross Country Young Athletes League.

In the past, success has been achieved in both League and Open events and the team have recently retained the Warwickshire Sports Hall league title. Numerous youngsters have represented South Warwickshire in the inter county competitions, Warwickshire in inter county matches and the English Schools championships and in National events.

About the Junior Section

The Junior section of the club was formed in 1979 with 12 members and 2 volunteer helpers and today it has grown to a membership of 170 + with a team of 32 volunteers supporting it (and is still growing)

The athletes and coaches all enjoy a multi disciplined coaching approach to athletics throughout the year and in 2004 the club achieved the prestigious Sport England Clubmark accreditation.

The club provides opportunities for young people from the age of 8 to receive appropriate coaching and competition. All coaching is by UKA qualified coaches who are trained and have been screened for their suitability for working with young people (see the club's Welfare policy below).

The club prides itself on promoting a supportive, family environment where young people feel welcomed and are encouraged to enjoy athletics. The club will help athletes improve their skills to meet their potential, irrespective of their ability level and will expect them to compete for the club if selected, or as individuals in the different competitions the club is involved in.

We are keen to try and involve parents in the club and would like to invite parents/carers to come along and meet the age group coaching leader, club members, see what we do, how we do it and find out more about the club.

We really value parental support and we welcome (and need) parents to get involved with the running of the club in various capacities such as coaching, officials at all competitions, as a volunteer helper, administration etc (see the Junior Membership application form for details).

If you would like to talk to someone at the club about this information or your child's involvement with the club, please contact the respective Age Group Leader.
