Relay
Oxfordshire have an Indoor Sportshall League that aims to keep the juniors focused and competitive while having fun through the winter.
The indoor league has five fixtures across Oxfordshire Leisure Centres, providing competition for the Under 11s through to the Under 15s. Events include running, jumping and throwing.
We will be encouraging all the juniors to compete this season, and will include regular Sportshall coaching in our training. If you have any queries regarding Sportshall Athletics, please contact Dan via WhatsApp (you’ll find me in the Junior WhatsApp group).

The events can be noisy with limited viewing. We’d recommend lift-sharing with other parents, or alternatively, drop the juniors off with their friends and collect at the end.
For parents keen to stay, we’d welcome a couple of parent/helpers to help with supervising the team during the competition.
