Reading Ac Junior Club
 

Reading Athletic Club runs a popular Junior Club for school years 4 & 5 on Sunday mornings between March & October. The sessions are run by our qualified coaches and fulfil a need in the community for 8 – 10 yr olds to try athletics.

The children learn to develop their running, jumping and throwing skills, leading to the 10 yr olds competing in some non-scoring league events during the summer. They have the opportunity to become full members of Reading Athletic Club when they reach year 6, having had a good grounding with the Junior Club.

 For further information or to book a place contact Lynda Bayley on lyndabayley@fsmail.net  or the Club Secretary on 0118 9427550.
