Our aim is to make athletics fun and accessible for all our juniors. We make use of the sports hall at Newcastle School for Girls where we follow the England Athletics funetics programme which provides an introduction to track and field athletics. The majority of activities take place in the sports hall although we do use Town Moor in the summer months.
We have a team of DBS checked coaches who provide a fun and welcoming introduction to athletics. We encourage juniors to participate in all activities and develop a wide-range of athletic ability.
For juniors looking to take part in competitive activities there are a small number of track and field events for under 11s in the summer and there are also a number of Cross Country fixtures available in winter months. At Under 13 there become more competitive races available with the North East Youth Development League providing a full competition format of track and field activities and the North East Harrier League, Northern Cross Country and National Cross Country providing local, regional and national competitions.
