The traditional indoor athletics heats that were held in cluster groups, will now be split over 3 events. They will all be held at the Life Centre and we have allocated one event for each school category; minor, inter and major. This is to ensure that schools have a more equal competitive opportunity. 

Please book onto the correct event based on what category you were put into last summer for the PSSP athletics event. If you are unsure, please contact Hayley. 

Minor schools- Wed 22nd October 

Inter Schools- Wed 5th November

Major Schools- 12th November

If you can not make your school date, you may enter a different one. As they are all held at the same place, we can correspond your team's scores against the other schools in your category, not the ones you race against on the day. 

Finals: The top three placed teams from each event (based on scores, even if you don't attend on your allocated day) will advance through to the finals (details TBC). 

Team size: 6 boys and 6 girls 

The format will remain the same with a team sheet needing to be completed. This will be sent closer to the event.
