Facebook

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.
