City North Little Athletics - week of 8 October
Aspley Pentathlon
Our entries for the Aspley Pentathlon have been submitted. This event will be held next Sunday 14 October at Bowden Park, Geebung. All athletes should try to arrive at 8:30am to allow warm-up prior to 9am start. Full club uniform, shorts and shirt, needs to be worn, with number on front of shirt and age patch, IGA and Medibank badge on the sleeves. Spikes no more than 7mm can be worn by but need to changed into at the starting line or at the field event. u6 to u10 athletes cannot wear spikes, u11s and u12s in jumping events and laned track events and u13s up may wear spikes in all running events and jumping events.
A new uniform order has arrived and will be available in the clubhouse this Tuesday and Thursday nights during the training sessions as well as next Saturday. We will still be having the normal Saturday competition at Windsor Park this coming Saturday. Athletes can still register for the Pentathlon but there is an increased fee of $15 for late registration. Late registrations wil be taken up to next Saturday. A copy of the Pentathlon flyer can be found here.
We have a large squad competing at the Pentathlon (74 athletes at this stage) and we will need our parents to assist the Aspley club at the field events - parents can assist at the events that their children are competing in.
Training - Tuesday and Thursday
Full training sessions will be held on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6pm at Windsor Park. We will have at least 8 coaches in attendance each evening. Training starts at 6pm.
Change in Saturday start time
As the weather is warming up the committee is going to consider starting the Saturday competition possibly at 2:30pm (or 3pm) to miss the worst of the heat. If parents have any comment about this either in favour or against please respond prior to 20 October. In the second half of the season (that is from mid Jan 2013) it was proposed to start at 3pm in any event.
