This tournament will replace our normal training sessions on Thursday 19th June.
The Club QuadKids is our own mini tournament. It's been a roaring success in previous years so it's now a regular part of our summer timetable. All athletes, whatever their age, take part in four events: 100m and 600m runs, howler throw and long jump. Times and distances are converted into points to give an overall points score. Every tenth of a second or cm really does count.
To be finished in time we will start earlier than normal. We will need athletes to start arriving from 6.25pm to check in and get their numbers so that they're ready for a warm-up before the action starts. If all goes according to plan, the last race should be complete at about 8:20pm.
We need lots of parental help to run each event. Last year we had a terrific turnout which helped the evening run extremely smoothly. We'll need: timekeepers and a recorder for the races; people to help with organising and recording the jump and throw scores; runners to ferry results back to the results desk and, ideally a photographer or two. If any of you has journalistic flair, perhaps you could write a report for the website? We'll also need a few people to pin on numbers before we start.
If you can help, please let me know as soon as possible, specifying any preferences for job. If you don't catch me at training, please drop an email to this address: [email protected]
It would also be helpful to know of any athletes who won't be available on the 19th so we can omit their names from the results spreadsheet.
