Parent help and supervision at club night
Athletics is a volunteer-based sport, so without volunteers nothing would happen.
Our registration numbers are growing, this means we need more help in coordinating our many events and programmes to ensure they can continue and provide the best experience for your children.
We expect parents and caregivers to help out and it doesn't matter if you don't have athletics experience. We will help you along the way - and, it's actually a lot of fun!
At club nights, your child is your responsibility. You cannot drop and leave them unsupervised.
Uniforms and age patches
The Bays Uniform must be worn at all club nights and at any events where you are representing our club. During the season, 7 to 14 year olds must also wear an age age patch (stitched or pinned to the front of your singlet on the right hand side).
Uniforms can be purchased at club nights or email NHBjuniorathletics@gmail.com.
Shorts must be plain black.
Junior coaching
Every Wednesday night event-specific coaching is available from 5.30 - 6.30pm.
You can choose which event you want to focus on. Everyone aged 7-14 is welcome and encouraged to take advantage of this extra free coaching in starts, sprints, jumps and throws. Booking openings coming soon!
Athletes 11-14 years who are keen to progress towards senior athletics are invited to join the X-Squad.
