JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT
Updated February 23, 2016
Junior Development refers to those athletes who are 9 to 13 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 (9 to 13 years), the BCJD Track and Field Championships (9 to 13 years), . Full details of all these meets can be found at http://www.bcathletics.org/CalendarResults/
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.
