All juveniles in the early session 6:30 -7:30 are to be accompanied by a parent  each night and must have a Athletics Ireland Covid Questionnaire filled in for each session.
After training parents are asked to pick Children up in communial area at the top of the steps.

In Session 2 7:30 - 8:30 we only have room for 15 per session, so to try and accomadate everyone each athlete will have to choose a Tuesday or Thursday session and will remain in that Session to Christmas. Spaces booked on first come first served, by emailing pon1973@gmail.com and stating what session you prefer. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee you will get this session. Athlete will be notified who is in which session. If you not on What's app please download it is easy way of communicating to our groups.

An electronic Covid Questionnaire must be filled out before each session for ALL ATHLETES and COACHES otherwise an athlete cant train. This will be set up in a Whats app group. Registration will be at club shed before entering the track. 

All athletes should have a small bag with a water bottle clearly labelled with their name on it. Bag should also have their own hand sanitiser in it.

Children should NOT attend training if they have any Covid like symptons

We will NOT be taking any new members at this time, and will review this over the coming months.
