Excitement is building for the inaugural Dublin Juvenile Spraoi Team Championships for U9 – U11 Age Groups to be held on Sunday 25th February at the National Indoor Area!
This is the first Dublin Wide Event following on from the hugely successful DSD Spraoi Games held recently at the track alongside Blackrock AC and Cabinteely AC.
Athletes will participate in a team based competition in Club teams of 4 – 10 participants from their age group. All athletes will be encouraged to compete in a Run, Jump and Throw event.
Run: 60m race
Jump: Standing Long Jump
Throw: Overarm Weighted Beanbag Throw
Medley Relay: A tradition relay but with various distances, 1st & 2nd leg are 200m, 3rd leg is 100m and final leg is 300m.
Dublin will be broken into Conferences/Regions – North, South and West – with athletes from each age group competing together but scoring will be done per Conference/Region.
Scoring on the day will be cumulative from each event and team based with the top 3 Teams from each Conference winning medals on the day.
Each Team will be accompanied by a coach who will move from event to event with the Team.
Each Age Group will be timetabled to compete within a two hour window during the day.
It promises to be a day of exciting competition for our younger athletes and we are looking forward to the event!
Please let us know if your athlete would like to participate on the day!
