JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT
Updated Sunday, March 18, 2007
| 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 see http://www.bcathletics.org/main/xcchamps.htm, the BC JD Track and Field Championships (to be held in Kamloop on July 13 to 15, 2007) and the BC JD Pentathlon Championships (to be held in South Surrey, June 23, 2007).
BC will be sending a team of 15 year old athletes to the Canadian Legion Camp (to be held at SFU in Burnaby, Aug. 10 to 17, 2006). The BC JD Track and Field Championships meet in Chilliwack on July 21 to 23, 2006) is the qualifying meet at which 15 year olds wishing to try to qualify for the Legion camp must compete.
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. These are listed below.
