​
Devon Sportshall League
​
Hi All.
I have been asked to bring this to your attention. The Club would need to register for the League and I would need a positive response from a reasonable number to make this worth the time effort and cost.
Extract from the Devon Sportshall League website -
This is a fun indoor inter club competition for athletes in the Under 11 to Under 15 age groups. Minimum age on the day of the competition 8 years.
It is run on an adaptation of the standard outdoor events, using soft javelins and shot, standing long jump and triple jump, soft hurdles and running end to end in a Sportshall for the sprint events with a turning board at each end. At the end of each fixture there is a relay event which includes all sorts of fun activities for the younger age groups.
All standards of athletic ability are welcome and everyone will provide points for the club. There is also a good level of competition with an opportunity to represent the County in the Regional Championships and for the older age groups a possibility of reaching the national championships. Athletes must be club members to take part in this competition. Club t-shirts are provided.
The fixtures are held at Dawlish Leisure Centre and the Plymouth Life Centre

Exeter Open Competitions
The club normally runs friendly competitions every last Tuesday of the month between March and September.
All children over 8 years old are actively encouraged to compete: it does not matter what standard they are and help will be given by the officials so they know what to do.
As a guide the evening runs as follows;
-
Athletes should arrive by 6.00pm and competition starts at 6.30pm*. The younger age groups will finish about 7.45pm.
-
The athletes can enter up to 3 events.
-
Entry fee is £5. Payment is made at the front desk, as normal, and a ticket will be issued which should be taken to the desk in the clubhouse where you will be given your run number.
-
This number should be attached to your vest with 4 pins at the front and 4 pins at the back.
-
Athletes should arrive at their event 5 minutes before the start time.
-
For running events, the marksman will allocate athletes to their heat.
-
For field events, athletes will have the opportunity for 1 or 2 warm up throws/jumps.
-
