Junior Athletics 2020 has been cancelled.
For personal reasons Wanda is no longer able to lead Junior Athletics. She has done a terrific job, enthusing youngsters and helping them to improve their athletics skills. If you are able to spare a few hours a week to run the club, email info@striders.co.nz for more details.
Kia Ora All
As always, new and returning members are welcome. The club is for children from 5-12 years. It is appreciated if a parent is present for the younger children. Why not come along one Wednesday for a free trial visit? If you decide to join us, see Wanda and she will register you and collect your fees.
We meet every Wednesday at 4.00 pm at the Kerikeri High School Athletics Track. Activities include running, relays, high and long jump, shot, hurdles and discus. Presently we have 3 adult and 2 students running the sessions which are fun as well as competitive.
Term Dates
Junior Athletics will run from October to December in 2020, precise dates to be confirmed
Registration
See Wanda at the club meeting to pay your fees. It costs $10.50 for the season and those that want to compete in any competitions will need to pay an extra fee to register with Athletics New Zealand.
Events
The Colgate Games are held over three days in the North Island and the South Island in January each year. Each event attracts anywhere from 1000 to 1500 young athletes aged from 7 to 14 years of age.
