Selection: This will be from the replies received, we will try and be as fair as possible with selection to ensure we give all a chance. We will inform you of successful selection by email and/or via your coach. Any concerns over team selection should always be addressed in the first instance with your coach who in-turn will discuss it with the relevant team manager. Please note in each event we are only allowed two athletes per age group/gender/event.(example U15 Girls 100m = one A string athlete then one B string athlete)
Attending: Simply report to the team manager (usually found at the club banner) to collect your team number. All athletes will wear the same team number depending on which string they are in. Their performances are turned into points which count toward the club total.
Age Groups: The age group DOB ranges can be found here – if in doubt just ask your coach
Forth Valley League (FVL) This is a competition for Under 11, Under 13 and Under 15 athletes There are a small number of events in each of the three fixtures, but is a great league to enter if you are new to competing. We currently compete in Div 1.

Grand Prix Series. This is a blend of leagues and individual competition However your performance at GP events are turned into club points as well. There are bespoke GP events for Throws, Jumps, Sprints & Endurance with some Championship events also doubling up as GP events.
Open Graded Meetings (OGM’s) These are run by either clubs or local authorities The difference is that instead of competing against those of similar age you compete against those of similar standard. These are great opportunities, especially to get some experience if you are new to the sport or wanting to try something different.
