Tony and Meg can’t make training tomorrow so there will be no training for Tony’s sprint group tomorrow. See you all Tuesday.
Good luck to all those who are competing.
Sportshall success
Well done to Freya, Lucy, Mia and Patience who were part of the Birmingham team at yesterday’s Regional Sportshall Final. The team finished second thanks to great performances by all. The Birmingham boys did one better, winning by a fair margin. Well done to all.
No Sprints training tomorrow (Sunday) for Tony’s group
Tony and Meg are at the Regional Sportshall Finals with 4 of our Under 11s tomorrow, so there is no training for the sprints group.
Good luck to Freya, Lucy, Mia and Patience.
Thursday induction group 5 – 6pm
This group (for 7 – 9 year olds) is now on its Christmas break. It restarts on Thursday 23rd January (weather permitting) 5 to 6 pm.
We have no arrangements for indoors so all sessions are outside.
Sportshall success
Last Friday (18th Oct) was the 1st Sporthall event of the year. RSCAC did very well. After the 1st meeting, the Under 11 girls are in 1st place, the Under 11 boys in 3rd, the Under 13 boys in joint 2nd and the Under 13 girls in 5th. The Under 15s do not have team positions. It is all done on individual performance in 3 events. There were some good performances from all.
Check out the results: http://www.birminghamsportshall.com/Calendar.asp
The next Sportshall is Friday Nov 15th, 7.15 pm at Stockland Green Leisure Centre.
WE ARE ESPECIALLY SHORT OF UNDER 15 BOYS (School Year 9 and 10). So if you are a boy in School Year 9 and 10, please email rscac@hotmail.co.uk if you can offer to compete for your club. It is a really fun competition where you do: a running event of about 150m or 300m; shot putt or speed bounce; and standing triple jump or long jump. There are also relays.
Induction group – Thursday 5 – 6 pm for 7 – 9 year olds.
Just to say that this group is now up and running. (It is only on in term time.) We had to change the induction group from Tuesday to Thursday to enable more helpers to attend.
It is £1.50 a session. Meet in the clubhouse on Wyndley Lane at 4.55 pm. No need to book a place – just turn up with your child. Bring a water bottle and wear appropriate clothing.
5pm – 6pm induction group for 7 – 9 year olds moved from Tues to Thurs
In order to enable more coaches to help with this induction session, the 5 – 6 pm induction group has been moved from Tuesday to Thursday.
The first session is on Thursday 26th September, 5 pm – 6 pm.
Any keen athletes should turn up at the athletics club house (on Wyndley Lane) at 4.55 pm on Thursday 26th September.
The session costs £1.50.
Children must be aged 7 – 9 to take part.
Help needed for the YDL Upper Age Group meeting (Under 17 and Under 20) at Wyndley on Sunday
Calling all members…
If you can help at Wyndley on Sunday it would be very much appreciated.
The event starts at 11.15 am, so we are setting up at 9.00 am. We need to get hurdles out, set up long jump/triple jump boards, get the pole vault and high jump out, check the bar height of these, find all the relay change over flags and batons, find the scales to weigh throwers’ implements, put up the club tent, set up the sound system….Clearly there is a lot to do, so the more help, the better.
At 5.00pm we’ll need to put everything away, so any help at 5.00pm would also be greatly appreciated.
And if you can stay to help in between we’ll be able to use you: in the coffee bar, raking pits/collecting shot putts, putting out hurdles, taking refreshments to officials, running results from timekeepers to the announcer, pinning results up. If you can stay, we’ll happily find you a job.
Hopefully see lots of you on Sunday. GO TEAM RSC!
TOMORROW’S YDL U17 and U20 meeting is CANCELLED
Please please please do not go to Tipton tomorrow. They have had to cancel the meeting as their starter has fallen ill and they can’t find a replacement. Please spread the word. It will hopefully be rearranged for later in the summer.
2nd place finish today at YDL U13 and U15
Well done team RSCAC. We finished second in today’s meeting thanks to everyone’s hard work. We snatched second place by 2 points, proving that every point gained is well and truly vital.
Very well done to all who took part.
