Junior Athletics

Athletics Season is just around the corner. This year we are making a few changes to the Junior programme to improve the club experience for members.

Unfortunately we will not be offering classes to children under the age of 7. Only children form the ages of 7 to 12 can register for the Junior Athletics Sessions will be based on Run, Jump, Throw utilising fundamental movement skills alongside our coaches.

Junior Athletics will run on Monday evenings 5.15 - 6.15 at Cooks Gardens. This will be for athletes aged 7-12. Starting on Monday Oct 20th.

Older athletes (12 and above) can also come along to club nights on Tuesday night at Cooks Gardens from 6.30pm. Club nights are a chance for these older athletes to get some technical support along with a chance to race in some of the junior events hosted on the night.

Programmes for both the Junior and Senior club will be posted each week on our Athletics Whanganui website.

Places will be limited so if you want to be part of the club this year then you can register online using the following link. Registration is also available on this page.
