QuadKids is the first entry point into competitive athletics for many children. QuadKids (the ‘Quad’ refers to four events) adopts a uniform format across the UK. Under 10 and Under 12 athletes can participate in league and open competitions over the same four events at each competition – 75m sprint, 600m run, long jump, and Vortex Howler throw. It is a perfect stepping stone encompassing all the key aspects of athletics; endurance, speed, agility and strength.
For matches in the Oxfordshire and Wessex Leagues the Team Managers will select 10 or 12 boys and girls to compete for points and personal bests. You can also enter Quadkids Opens. Banbury Harriers AC runs a series each summer and there are plenty of others regionally and nationally.
