Our Junior Club has an enthusiastic membership of 40 boys and girls aged from 8 to 15 years old. They meet on Tuesdays during term time from 5.30pm to 6.30pm at Hayle Community School on St George’s Road in Hayle. We advise children to arrive between 5.20 and 5.30 and ask that parents be there at 6.25 to collect their children when the session ends at 6.30pm.

​

Our activities encompass the whole range of athletic disciplines except for the pole vault. The emphasis is on enjoyment and fun and we like the children to try their hand at all the activities. Most sessions will have some form of running and we hope that this will encourage the participants to consider joining the Hayle Runners senior club as they get older.

​

During the winter months we are indoors in the school gym; when it gets lighter and warmer we will be training on the school sports field.During the winter we also often take the children out on supervised road runs, this is done in a group with 5 coaches in attendance and all the children wear reflective vests. Safety will always be our main concern and you can rest assured that road runs will only happen when it is safe to run outdoors – we run on the pavements and stay within the confines of the town.

​

Many Hayle juniors are enthusiastic competitors – but it’s not compulsory

​

All our coaches and helpers are CRB checked and all coaches have UK Athletics certification. The club has Club Mark accreditation and to achieve this, the procedures and practices, were all scrutinised by UK Athletics.

​

Membership is £5 per year and £1 is charged each session to cover our costs.
