At Maidenhead A.C we have a flourishing junior section, which is growing year on year. The main aim of the junior section is the same as the adults - TO HAVE FUN.
Junior Section
Maidenhead Athletic Club Junior Section will be taking part in SportsBug this year. SportsBug is an initiative by RBWM, in conjunction with sports clubs throughout the Borough, to allow people who are interested in various sports, to try them out. Visit http://www.rbwm.gov.uk/web/sdev_index.htm for more information.
Our SportsBug session will be run on Saturday the 17th May 2008, from 2pm to 4pm. This session is limited to children in school years 6,7 & 8 and there are limited places available. To register your child's interest, please e-mail child's name, age and school year to sportsbug@maidenheadac.co.uk.
Please be aware that should your child be interested in joining Maidenhead Athletic Club after trying SportsBug, we have a waiting list in place at the moment. Details available on the day.
We are an Active Sports Club and have achieved Clubmark. All juniors are coached in all aspects of athletics from sprinting to race walking and from pole vault to hammer. Some juniors are also sometimes invited by the coaches to join in specialist coaching sessions on other evenings. We are members of the Alder Valley Track and Field League. We also enter open competitions and county championships. During the winter the club enter teams in the Chiltern Cross-Country League on Saturday afternoons and there also are races for juniors in the Today's Runner League on Sunday mornings.
For more information on joining the junior section at Maidenhead please email Derek Clark.
We regret to inform interested parties that Maidenhead Athletic Club are employing a waiting list policy at this current time for children between the ages of 7 and 16.
Due to lack of coaching resources we will no longer be able to accommodate new members under 7 years of age. However, if your child is already on the waiting list your eligibility will not be affected.
Interested parties should send an email to Derek Clark to register themselves supplying the following for notification when a place becomes available:-
Name of Parent
Name of Child
Contact Info
Age of Child
Athletic interests
We regret having to resort to this, but demand in our Junior section is currently at an all-time high.
