JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT
Updated Saturday, March 07, 2009
| Junior Development refers to those athletes who are 9 to 14 years old as December 31 of the year of competition. British Columbia has a highly developed program for athletes of these ages. The programs are designed to train and develop young athletes in the sport of athletics.
The distances run on the track, the heights and placement of hurdles and the weight of the throwing implements are appropriate for each age group. Younger athletes do not compete in the longer races and do not throw the more dangerous implements. Full details may be obtained from the BC Athletics website at www.bcathletics.org
There are many track meets and cross country runs held around the province during the course of the year culminating in the BC Open Cross Country Championships, the BC JD Track and Field Championships and the BC JD Pentathlon Championships
In the even number years, athletes who are 14 years old can try to qualify for the Zone 6 team to the BC Summer Games. The qualification meet is held in conjunction with one of the regularly scheduled meets in the Island Track and Field series.
In Zone 6 (Vancouver Island and Powell River), the various clubs are members of the Vancouver Island Athletics Association (VIAA) which organizes meets and training sessions for athletes in the Zone. Click here to see the Track and Field list and Cross Country list for the current year.
