As part of our Monday and Thursday general summer coaching programme we are able to offer outdoor track and field athletics at Ghyll Royd School (Mon) and the Ilkley Grammar School playing fields (Thur). We are able to do Hurdles, Long Jump, Triple Jump, Hammer, Javelin, Shot, Discus as well as track running (sprinting) and relays. All these activities are outside whatever the weather, so a waterproof coat and a sence of humour are essential!
We also do indoorTrack & Field coaching sessions at Ghyll Royd School during the winter for those athletes who want to compete. This includes Jumping (long, triple and high), throwing (shot and javelin) and hurdles.
Ilkley Harriers senior section does not compete in Track and Field Athletics, however the juniors do. We competed in the Young Athletes League as a combined team with Bradford Airedale juniors in 2007 and in 2008 & 2009 we competed in the YAL (N2EC) as Ilkley.
However in 2010 we decided to withdraw from this league to concentrate on encouraging more juniors from 8 to 18 to compete - we have listed a number of meets below that we think you'd like to have a go at in 2012 and £2 per meet will be refunded at the end of the season. Entry forms will be at club training sessions or on the appropriate website. AAA common standard cloth badges and certificates will be presented at the end of the autumn term.
