Information about training nights, club coaches, venue and what we do. |
The main contacts for the club are Gregor and Linda Nicholson - 01721 723370.
The club coaches are fully qualified and insured. They have been disclosure checked and hold UK coaching awards. Although not obligatory we would encourage all athletes to join Moorfoot Athletics Club. Junior Membership for 2009 costs £10. The application form can be downloaded here: Click here to download this file NB THE FORM GOES TO THE TREASURER, NOT TO GREGOR OR LINDA. Athletes who have joined Moorfoots Athletics Club will not be charged for training sessions. Non members will be asked to pay £1 per training session. Moorfoot Juniors Kit is available but supplies are currently limited. Photos of the kit have been posted in the Gallery. You can download the Kit order form here: Click here to download this file For 2009 we propose that athletes of suitable standard take part in open graded meetings, in the professional and amateur circuit as well as competing in National Championships. Also athletes may be asked to compete for their school. We will try to ensure a club coach is present at a competition for assistance and support. Although happy to help, coaches will ask for the athlete to be responsible for entering competitions before the deadline for entries. Moorfoot Juniors take part in Borders Athletics (BA)and Scottish Games Association (SGA) Meetings(handicapped races; 17 and under; prize money), Scottish Athletics Ltd (SAL) Events (U-20, U-17, U-15, U-13, and sometimes U-11 based on age at 31/8/08) and School Events which will be entered through the school. Summer training sessions started on 14 April 2009 and until further notice will take place at Peebles High School on Tuesday nights at 6.30 till 7.30. Ages 10-18 are welcome but parents of athletes are also very welcome to stay and train alongside. Athletes who will be competing during the summer will be invited to attend extra sessions. |
