U13 will open at 1m, U15 Girls at 1.10, U15 Boys at 1.15. Athletes must be able to clear these.
The Under 15s also need Pole Vault and Hammer in the League team. These need specialist training and a desire to do them! Please discuss with Craig if you would like to do these in matches.
Remember to fill in your athletes club membership form online, and pay. You should have the code, but if not ask Craig or Dave or any club coach or official.
In 1 week since opening, 127 Under 15s / U11s have registered already. An amazing response, thank you to all who have done it already. When it reaches about 160 we are going to have to look hard at the implications for numbers attending any one night.
Remember the Wakefield Open, Sun 8 April. Advance entry needed.
Then scroll down. Postal entry only, closes 3 April. We have a lot going to this, and Craig and Dave will be there to help our athletes.
