Track Leagues

Eastern Youngs Athletics league (*)
This league is for all athletes who are in the U13, U15 and U17 age groups (Yr 6-11). There are five meetings held once a month between April and August. Athletes can compete in a range of events from sprints, middle distance, jumps and throws. There is an A&B scorer for each event and there are non – scoring opportunities available so everyone can take part. Those clubs who finish in the top 6 go forward to the Final in September and those placed 7 – 12 take part in the Plate Final.

The Youth Development League (*)
The YDL is a league which caters for U17 and U20 athletes. As well as the usual sprints, middle distance, jumps and throws it also includes long hurdles, 3k and steeplechase events. There are four matches throughout the season.

The Southern League (*)
The Southern League is our senior league and athletes ages U17 and above can compete. This is a senior league so all events are carried out using senior weight and hurdle heights. If you are U17 it is important to consult with your coach as to whether this league would be right for you. The events in the league includes long hurdle races, 5K, 3K and steeple chase events as well as the usual sprints, middle distance, jumps and throws. There are five fixtures throughout the season.
