U9/U10/U11 Dublin Teams Competition & Relay Championships 2025 Sunday 25th May 10.30am Tallaght Athletics Club Track
Our coaches Toni, Mark, Jean and John have been busy organising athletes for the upcoming Teams Competition – it is always a fun day of competition for our younger juveniles and it is great to see so many athletes putting their names forward to take part. For some it will be their first taste of competition and competing together as part of a team is a great introduction to this. We hope everyone is looking forward to and enjoys themselves on the day. We have 186 Athlete Entries and 17 Relay Teams on the day – so as you can imagine this takes a considerable amount of organisation to coordinate! A reminder that the Relays are a Team event – with 4 athletes making up each team – if a child is unavailable, it will impact the other children on that team.

I've endeavoured to match volunteer slots with the times your athlete will be in attendance and considering specific requests where possible – I’m sure you can imagine this has not been a small undertaking. The day is split into morning and afternoon sessions – please ensure you arrive as requested and stay for the duration of your session. Check in with Seamus, who will coordinate volunteers on the day. Don't worry if it's your first time volunteering; there will always be an expert on hand to provide guidance for each event. We may need additional volunteers during the day, so please let me know if you're available when you arrive. We would also like to thank our fantastic Coaches who have prepared their athletes so well and will be attending on the day – your commitment and dedication is most appreciated and we look forward to all the fun of the Teams Championships!
