Welcome to the HHAC Juniors Section

Are you age 8 or older? Come and train with us...

We have a large and active Juniors section which has produced some national standard athletes over the years. Children over the age of 8 are warmly welcomed (see age restrictions).

We meet at 7:00pm each Tuesday and Thursday at the Harriers Club at Neiley.  Most sessions last about one hour and parents/guardians are welcome to stay and watch or help.  Anyone who would like to get involved in the coaching please speak to one of the junior coaches as we always need new people with new ideas and voices.

The club provides support for anyone undertaking the coaching courses.

We train all year round including during school holidays.

There are no changing facilities for juniors so young athletes will need to be already changed and have appropriate clothing for the weather.

Check out the events page for HHAC Junior handicap races. Please NOTE there is no junior training when junior club races take place on training nights.

Please refer to Track & Field page for the West Yorkshire Track and Field League.

Anyone wanting any further details can contact the Junior Development Officer, John McFadzean on 07800 507824 or email j.mcfadzien@sky.com
