Training

Training nights are Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the year with Sunday mornings sessions available for part of the year.

The new blocked system for training sessions started in November 2005 and  is the intended pattern for Tuesdays and Thursdays for the foreseeable future.

JUNIORS/ EARLY SESSIONS

6pm – Club Open	Junior multi-discipline squads
6.15-6.30pm	Warm up for junior multi-discipline squads
6.30 to 7.15pm	Junior multi-discipline squads with respective coaches
7.15pm	Junior multi-discipline squads finish

INTERMEDIATES/ SENIORS & OTHERS /  LATE SESSIONS

6.45pm	Warm up	Juniors are still taking precedence
7.15pm	Track and infield available

 Athletes will not be able to take part in both sessions as this defeats the object of splitting the times and it is equally important that older athletes allow the junior groups this uninterrupted use of the track.
