Development Squads for Jumps & Throws
9 January 2015
The club committee are currently investigating the possibility of setting up two development squads, one for jumps and another for throws.
The squads would be for athletes in the u15 and above age groups (born on or before 31/08/2002) who wanted to specialise in either throws or jumps events.
There would be capacity in each squad for a maximum of 6 to 8 athletes, with joining criteria to be confirmed, and each squad would be led by a coach who specialises in that discipline.
The squads would have one or two sessions per week, which would be on the existing club nights (Mondays and Wednesdays), and athletes would be expected to attend every session.
To assess demand for the two squads, could athletes who are potentially interested please register their interest with Alistair, stating whether it's jumps or throws that you are interested in.
Jumps and throws have been targeted in the first instance based on feedback from athletes and parents to the club committee.
