Our under 15 girls and boys teams competed in the East Anglian League Finals in September.
The teams qualified for the finals after finishing in the top eight during the league season.
In the finals, there were lots of great performances and PBs from a number of athletes. Bailey, Daniel, Joe and Sam finished in eighth position for the boys and Abbie, Freya, Holly, Lucy and Layla finished in sixth for the girls.

It's my athletes first competition
Many athletes will be competing for the first time, so it’s a great time to start! Sportshall offers a friendly and supportive introduction to competitions.
We've been practising the events in training, and competitions are set up in a similar way.
All athletes take part in all six events. In five of those events, points are awarded based on performance. The 3 athletes with the top overall score across the combined 5 events in each age category win medals.
WE NEED YOUR HELP ON SATURDAY!
We need helpers to run Sportshall competitions.
We're all volunteers ourselves and need extra help from parents/carers to run Sportshall. Please spare a bit of time to help with tasks like retrieving a chest push ball or javelin.
We promise it won't take long, supports the athletes and helps the day run as smoothly as possible.
Please message our Athletics Coordinator waveneyvalleyac@gmail.com if you are willing to help.

Congratulations to Kiah, Erin and Abbie who recently attended Leading Athletics workshops by England Athletics.

WEEKLY TRAINING FORM REMINDER
Please remember to complete the training forms by midday of each training session.
Completing the form helps coaches to plan sessions based on the number of athletes attending. There have been occasions recently where many more athletes turn up at training sessions than expected.
