The Kildare League - what is it?
Like any sports club, all Juveniles are reasonably expected to participate in competition events throughout the year but the club especially expects our young members to attend the annual Kildare League.
The Kildare League is an enjoyable annual club event for our young athletes to compete against other Kildare clubs in the area.
The competition days are spread out over three Sundays during the Springtime months and all our juvenile members are required to attend each of the designated league days and participate in TWO events every league day.*
For each of the events the Juveniles participate in, they earn club points corresponding to the position they finished in.
These points are accumulated over each of the league days, and on the final league day the total club points awarded from all of the league days will contribute to an over all club score.
Your childs efforts could help place their club as the over all winner of the league!
Club points are only awarded when a juvenile member competes in TWO events on the same day. No points are awarded if a juvenile only participated in 1 event on the same day.*
Our coaches are starting to prepare our juvenile athletes ages U8-U16 for these events and it will be our main focus over the forthcoming months.
Round 1 takes place on 26th March at our track in Clane.
*Exception for Round 1 this year - 1 event only for U8 - U11.
Round 2 takes place on 16th April in Naas
Round 3 takes place on 25th June in Newbridge
