CAT'S PARENTS - WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

With the Summer Track and Field season almost upon us, we are looking for parents who would be interested in assisting at meetings on field events with jumps or throws.  


If you feel you can help please e-mail bobkimber141@btinternet.com who will be happy to give you more information.


Many thanks,



Under 11's Training Update

March 2011

Firstly I would like to take this opportunity to thank both the young athletes and their parents for their patience in this difficult transitional period.

Over the past few weeks that the new committee has been in place, we have all worked extremely hard in our spare time to get this great club back on its feet.

At the front of all this has been the younger athletes that have sadly been mostly effected by the sudden departure of their coach. 

 We have been searching for a suitable and stable scheme for their enjoyment and progression within athletics and we now are in a position to put this into practice.

As from the 28th march these athletes will be split into 4 groups, Lions, Tigers, Jaguars and leopards.

These groups will be coached by the same coach week in week out, rotating between sprints, throws, jumps and longer distance running. At the end of the first 4 week we will be having a small friendly competition between the groups. Hopefully after this initial competition many will go on to compete for the club in the East Anglian League this summer.

As always we need your help. If anyone is interested in assisting the coaches please talk to anyone of the coaches or myself.

Best regards
Ian Kelly
chairman

Essex AA - County Champs - May 2011

A reminder that the closing date for the County Championships is WEDNESDAY 6th April 2011.

Last year we had nearly a 1000 entries, this year to date we have only had 100.   With Easter and the bank holiday the following week, LATE ENTRIES will not be accepted.
ALSO athletes do need to provided the UKA Registration (Licence No), this is important as about 10% of the entries do not contain the number and we have had to contact the athlete/club secretary, thus delaying the process.
