J U N I O R S Our Juniors (ages 7 - 14 yrs), will enjoy club training sessions over the summer school terms (term 4 and term 1). Training is from 4pm – 5.30pm on Tuesdays starting on Tuesday 13 October 26 at the Queenstown Events Centre beside the hockey turf. Personal Best sessions will be run dependent on the level of parent volunteers each week, and where possible times, distances and jumps will be recorded so each child can work on improving his/her own results. This gives the athletes a chance to put the skills they have learnt into practice. Registration fees cover the season (term 4 and term 1). There are no quarterly memberships available and no refunds will be given. We rely heavily on parent volunteers to hold the sessions so we ask parents to commit to attending at least three sessions per term at time of signing up. Due to a shortage of committed parent volunteers, registration numbers are capped for the 26/27 season. It is therefore recommended to register your child as soon as practicable. COMPETITIVE ATHLETES: Those athletes who like to COMPETE, are all welcome to join Southland Athletic meets on Sundays in Invercargill as well as the Colgate Games every year in January. Being a competitive member requires a commitment to travel to inter-club meets in Invercargill over weekends. Our affiliation with Southland offers the opportunity to compete at provincial level, and eligibility for selection on their rep teams. Southland also extends invitations for our members to attend specialised coaching sessions with their club.  Please get in touch if your child is interested in competing. Shared travel as a club can be arranged if we have enough juniors interested. It is important to attend regular meets as it enables the club to field relay teams and build club spirit. Regular attendance also offers eligibility for selection into their REP teams. QA club uniforms will be available to purchase. See Athletics Southland website to plan your season and diarise which events you want to attend.
