This years SuperTeams Outdoor Championships has changed to an exciting new format that will give a great opportunity for all our U12 Club Athletes to take part.
Instead of having just one event, there will be 5 Regional Heats and as a Club our Heat will take place on Saturday 27th May at Pitreavie Sports Centre, which will be followed up with a National Final to be held on the 24th June at Scotstoun Sports Stadium. Glasgow.
So what has changed?
- Clubs can be represented by any number of athletes in each heat and can choose any of the five heats to attend.
- During the heats, instead of competing as teams, athletes will compete as individuals in three SUPERteams events. This allows any number of athletes from our club to take part without relying on others to form a full team.
- The event will be open to athletes in the U12 age group. This means they will be at least 9 on the day of the FINAL and born after 31/08/11.
- All Athletes will take part in a short sprint, a jump and a throw, with fun non-scoring relays offered for on-the-day teams at the end of each Regional Heat.
- SUPERteams teams in the regional heats will be made up of the four highest-scoring athletes from the same club. Each team will be made up of at least 2 girls and maximum of 2 boys (ie. 2 girls + 2 boys, 3 girls + 1 boy or 4 girls, depending on individual scores).
- The top-scoring 8 teams in each regional heat will progress to the National Final.
Next Steps
