Excitement is building for the inaugural Dublin Juvenile Spraoi Team Championships for U9 – U11 Age Groups to be held on Sunday 25th February at the National Indoor Area – it promises to be a fun filled day for all involved!
The day starts at 10am with the U9 Girls, U9 Boys & U10 Girls with the afternoon session starting at 1.30pm for the U10 Boys, U11 Girls & U11 Boys.
Athletes are participating in Club teams from their age group. All athletes will be encouraged to compete in a Run, Jump and Throw event with 4 athletes from each team competing in the Medley Relay.
Run: 60m race
Jump: Standing Long Jump
Throw: Overarm Weighted Beanbag Throw
Medley Relay: A traditional relay but with various distances, 1st & 2nd leg are 200m, 3rd leg is 100m and final leg is 300m.
Each Team will be accompanied by a coach who will move from event to event with them.
Dublin has been broken into Conferences/Regions – North, South and West – with athletes from each age group competing together but scoring will be done per Conference/Region.
Scoring on the day will be cumulative from each event and team based with the top 3 Teams from each Conference winning medals on the day.
DSDAC is in the Southern Conference along with Blackrock, Crusaders, Cabinteely, Rathfarnham and Tallaght.
