Dublin Juvenile Indoor Championships
Day 1 Sunday 26th January 2025

PLEASE NOTE
ATHLETE CHECK-IN IS THROUGH THE DUBLIN ATHLETICS BOARD CHECK-IN DESK ONLY
At previous competitions DSD athletes normally checked in with Sharon/Damien to get their number, however, this is not the system for Sunday’s competition.
Please follow the Check-in guidelines below:
Athletes should note check-in time and closing time for their first event and arrive in time to allow:
· Check-in with Competition Official to collect your Number before Closing Time
· Check-in with DSD Officials in the stand
· Sufficient time for warm-up with Coaches
Please note there will be a check-in system operating for all events and officials will be strictly adhering to the opening and closing times.
NOTE: You will MISS your event if you do not CHECK IN before CLOSING TIME
We suggest that you aim to arrive well before Check In opens for your event to allow sufficient time.
NOTE: There were athletes who missed events last year due to missing check-in
Please be advised, the timetable is subject to change without notice, events could be earlier or later than the scheduled time.
Please listen to announcements for any amendments to the schedule.
DSD vest MUST be worn when competing.
We ask that you are respectful of all Officials and Volunteers on the day.

VOLUNTEERS
A sincere thank you to all of our parents who have generously put their names forward to volunteer on Day 1 of the Championships.
Given the number of DSD entries and the required ratio - we are requested to provide volunteers to cover 21 slots during the day - your generosity has made the job of providing names to the Dublin Juvenile Competition Committee so much easier and is most appreciated.
On this occasion I have endeavoured to match volunteer slots with the time that your athlete will be in attendance while also taking into consideration any specific requests where possible – as I am sure you can imagine – this is not a small undertaking.
Please ensure that you arrive as requested and stay for the duration of your session – in some cases this will be to the end of an event or until the next DSD volunteer arrives to take over.
We would also like to thank our fantastic Coaches who have prepared their athletes so well and will be attending on the day – your commitment and dedication is most appreciated and we look forward to the start of the Dublin Juvenile Indoor Athletics Championships for 2025!
Please don’t hesitate to make contact if you have any questions.
Wishing all of our athletes the very best of luck!
Yours in Sport
Sharon Wilson
Director of Athletics Operations
