From School PE lesson to International Athlete ?

From School PE lesson to International Athlete ? There are approximately 60 secondary schools or colleges in the county. We communicate with ALL by: 2 copies of SSAA Handbook Area Secretaries SSAA Secretary Championship Organisers SSAA Team Managers Website

Schools, therefore, know about our activities. But our activities are also posted on the SSAA website for ALL to see : Students Parents Coaches Teachers We also have a very good relationship with the Athletics Clubs within the County. They too are informed of our activities so they can inform their Athletes / Parents / Coaches

By taking part today YOU are now part of the Association. Keep asking your teachers for information about : Cross-Country Track & Field Combined Events (and Race Walking) Because the first step on the ladder is to be entered by your school into your Area Championships. Having had their championships the Area selects a team to compete at the County Championships – that’s when you start to meet us.
