Junior Athletics

Our Junior Section is one of the most popular in the region—so much so that we currently operate with a waiting list due to high demand.

We welcome children from Year 4 and up (ages 8– 9 on September 1st).

Our sessions run during term times and there are two intakes each year:

Post-Easter Holiday

Post-October Half-Term


If your child is passionate about athletics, we’d love to hear from you! When the waiting list is open, you’ll be able to register your interest online.

Our Junior waiting list is now open and you can access it on the Junior pages here: Junior Section
