Welcome to the Rochdale Harriers & AC Junior Athletics Page!

Coaches Lisa and Amanda with the team!

RHAC has two groups for junior training; The Arrows for our younger athletes and The Juniors. The aim of the club is to help athletes achieve their own potential.

The groups train in all aspects of athletics:

• Running (sprints, middle distance, long distance, relay);
• Jumping;
• Throwing; and
• Indoor Sportshall (9 years onwards).

For ages 6-8 years, training in on Tuesdays 6pm-7pm.

For ages 9 years and upwards, training is on Tuesday and Thursdays 7pm-8pm.

Katie Wilkinson

Training takes place throughout the year except Christmas and New Year and is held on the athletics track unless the weather is extremely wet or icy. In those circumstances, training will be moved into the sportshall.
