Busy weekends at the track

/in , /by

Over the next few weekends YOSC have some bookings that will effect the Saturday morning sessions.
On 18/6/16, 25/6/16, 02/7/16 the 10.00 ’til 11.00 and 11.00 til 12.00 session will be on the Astro pitches only as all day/weekend bookings on the track and in field will be taking place.
We appreciate this may prohibit some throws, jumps and hurdles, as an alternative from Monday 20th June the athletics stadium is not booked by Brimsham Green School during the week, until the new term in September, so there are opportunities to train on Fridays from 9.00am until late evening.
Athletes should talk to their coaches and coaches should discuss the options with Mark or Jeremy, it could be during the competition season, a Friday may suit, should there be a competition on Sunday for example?

Busy Weekend!

/in , /by

Following last weekends LAG YDL we have just had another busy weekend for our athletes, with Sofie Anderson, Jack Moore & Abi Robson at Yeovil for the Combined Events County Championships, and our UAG members representing Team Avon in the YDL match on Sunday, I noticed a PB by Lexi Bond in the triple jump. Well done to all our Club members.

On another note, after seeing some of our athletes being selected for County & Country, it is great to see our coaches getting in on the act!

Mark Lodge has been selected as part of the GB coaching team for the CPISRA World Games this August, it is great to see his effort and commitment being recognised and this follows his selection as throws coach at the Invictus games & award of ‘Professional coach of the year’  from South Gloucestershire Council last year. Well done Mark, we will expect photos and a report please!

Wishing all our members a happy new year and a great 2015 season!

Sunday 04/01/15 saw our first competitive outing with , Tom Pallot, Annie Lewis, Jess and Jonny Mead, Laura Cook, Sofie Andersen, Lucy Conibear, Jack Moore and Isobel Parry all at the Cardiff Indoor open incorporating the SW indoor champs. The results will be on the power of 10, but congratulations to Tom for his Gold and Bronze and to Annie for her Bronze, and hard luck to Jonny who lost out for the bronze medal by o.o1 of a  second! For most it was their first indoor or a new distance/age group to get used to, but everyone enjoyed the day and now have a time to work on. The event was well run and well supported, with a group of about 15 Yate parents/family members there.

Next event will be 22/02/15 at the NIA Birmingham (now know as the Barclays Arena?)

 

Happy Christmas and a great New Year to all our members, hope you are having a good break. For those who have entered the Cardiff open best of luck, see you there, hope it all goes well.
