SATURDAY 3rd JUNE –
CLUB SESSION CACELLED.
ACADEMY SESSION LOCATION CHANGE.

We are fast approaching the new 2024/25 outdoor track and field season, so we have some early season news and events to share with you, so read on to find out about Kit, the upcoming AGM, Sports Mind Coaching, Sprints & Hurdles entries (now open) and the new Membership year.

The club are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Tony Jefferies , a much loved member of Yate and District AC.

The Avon track and field round four has been re-scheduled for Saturday, 24th September and will now be held at Yate.

We are incredibly proud of the clubs forty-year history and have kept records of every year since we were established, back in 1983.

We would like to raise awareness to our members that Yate and District AC are in a privileged position where athletes are eligible to enter two regional Championships…

Coach, Sam Hillier-Smith is hoping to recruit some more athletes to her successful Pole Vault Squad.

Sam’s squad have broken many of the clubs records and gained Regional and even National medals.

Ideally, athletes would be aged 12-14 and available to train at least once a week, preferably twice.

We’ve tallied up last weekends Yate AC medal haul over three regional County Championships (Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire) and we are extremely pleased to announce Yate athletes have picked up an amazing 56 gold medals, 32 silver medals, and 19 bronze medals… a massive total of 107 medals!

We are not going to have enough Qualified Officials to run the planned selection meeting and therefore have had to CANCEL the trials scheduled for 6th June.

We are very short of parents in the U13 & U15 age groups who are officials. 
We recently had to call on Charlotte & Matt Viner to cover the Cardiff YDL Lower match (as well as officials from Bristol & West) to ensure that we did not lose points, as officials contribute to the team’s points in the both the YDL Lower & Upper Leagues as well as the senior leagues that we compete in.

England Athletics have today (17th June 2020) issued a revised plan with regards a potential return to competition.

For the second year running, we are very pleased to announce that seventeen club members have been selected to represent their County at this years English Schools.

Our good friends at Neuff Athletic Equipment have very generously offered Yate & District Athletic Club 10% of all sales, without affecting how much the customer pays for their products.

Further to the Prime Minister’s national address this evening, we’re sorry to inform you that YOSC will be closing with immediate effect

As a club we compete in five athletics leagues, from the local to the national. All leagues (except AT&F) only have one more match to go.
Here’s an update of what’s been happening.

You never know how the team will fare before the season starts and a certain amount of trepidation exists as the team is prepared for its first match and you don’t know what the opposition has in store.

We are very short of parents in the U13 & U15 age groups who are officials.

A lot happened in 2024. We have
hosted sessions and competition for nearly
100 adaptive and para athletes and with the
opening up of the Avon League, we are
attracting more and more para competitors
to Yate from the region.

David Turner (Avon County Coordinator) has issued the following reminder:

Just to remind everyone.  The County SportsHall Championships are happening this Saturday, April 30th at Bristol Grammar School sports hall.

Entry for the 2022 South West Championships is now open.

These Championships will take place at Exeter on Sunday July 24th.

Due to the impending storm Darragh and the Amber/Red weather warning for tomorrow (Saturday 7th), all our academy sessions and club training sessions have been cancelled.

Following the popular workshops in 2022, Jordan has plans for more in 2023.

Our partner club, Westbury Harriers, are encouraging people to enter their annual “Westbury Wipeout” event.

A 3k multi-terrain adventure for juniors aged 8-15 taking them round the beautiful grounds of Blaise Castle, Henbury.

We have some great news to share…

We have once again been shortlisted for the England Athletics’ South West Club of the Year!

This time it’s a public vote – so we need everyone to get involved and cast your vote for us.
