Kilcoole Athletic Club has a rapidly expanding Little Athletes and Juvenile Section of close to 200 members. Our Athletics Ireland qualified coaches provide training that is age appropriate to the wide range of our younger athletes. We train two times a week at the Charlesland Running Track as follows:

• Mondays: 7:00pm to 8:00pm (Age >= 12 years old).
• Thursdays: 6:30pm to 7:30pm (Ages 4 to 18).

Unfortunately our waiting list is full for now.
We are working to clear our current waiting list and will reopen once we have capacity.

Our aim as a club is to encourage young kids to enjoy athletics as part of an active lifestyle. Our emphasis is on participation and effort and we welcome athletes of all ability. Athletes are encouraged to try different field events and distances to find out what they enjoy. We also encourage our athletes to participate in cross country and track & field events.
