Junior Training
Settle Harriers’ junior training sessions for children in school year 3 through to year 13 take place every Tuesday during school term time. They are open to children who are Settle Harriers members and have enrolled and paid for the sessions in advance.
We now ask for all training fees for the year to be paid in early January. The fee is based on £1 per session (so £35 for 2019). If your child joins during the year, the fee will be reduced on a pro rata basis.
Our coaches are qualified to at least UK Athletics Level 2 and have appropriate DBS clearance. We also have a number of “Level 1” assistant coaches, also with DBS clearance.
Start time for sessions: 5.40pm (but please arrive by 5.30pm for registration) Venue: Eshton’s Playing Fields, Raines Road, Giggleswick (next to the all-weather floodlit pitches).
If your child is interested in joining us, please email juniors@settleharriers.org for further information. When emailing us, it will help if you can give your child’s full name, date of birth, school year, details of any previous running experience and any other relevant information. We will then get back to you as soon as we can.
We have a Code of Conduct that we would like all participating athletes and parents to take note of. We also have policies for Child Protection and for First Aid that can be viewed on this website.
