Track & Field fixture lists sent to every club member

With the outdoor track & field season fast approaching, every member of the club has been sent a league fixture list specific to them.

Whether you are 8 years old and taking part in the quadkids at the Wessex League or 80 years old and taking part in the Hampshire vets league, you know the dates of the fixtures and how the teams are chosen.

This is a historic year for WADAC as we compete in the NAL for the very first time and we are looking forward to record numbers of athlets representing the club in league matches this year.

Weekend track & field preview

The first round of NAL (National Athletics League) matches today is the highlight of this weekends action. As a club we are not (yet) in this league but many of are athletes will be in higher claim action for other clubs.

Tomorrow sees the first round of the Wessex League for Winchester and we have a huge team in action at our home track. Whilst this is a development league giving everyone a chance to take part, it is the main league for our U11 quadkids and we wish them well as they look to defend last years title.

Good luck to everyone in action in the June sunshine.

No results have been updated for the last couple of weeks on the website and I will get around to doing this it is just such a busy time just now.

Which track & field leagues are we in

With the Summer season fast approaching, it is worth famliarising yourself with which leagues the club competes in and which you are eligible for.

The club competes in 5 track & field leagues. These are great for team spirit and fun and brings a team element to what is an individual sport.

We are in division 1 of the Southern Athletics League or SAL and this league is eligible to those in the U17 age group and above. The team is selected by the head coaches but there is room for everyone that wants to take part.

We are in the premier league South of the upper age group Youth Development league or YDL where we compete as a composite team with the City of Portsmouth AC. This league is eligible to those in the U17 & U20 age groups and is selected by the Head coaches but there is plenty of room for everyone that wants to take part. We are also in the premier league of the lower age group of the YDL. This is eligible to the U13 & U15 age groups with the teams selected by the Head Coaches. We recognise there is not always room for everyone in this league where we field our strongest age group team so also compete in the Wessex League which is a development league with selection prioritised for those young athletes not selected for the YDL. This league is for U13-U17 with a few spaces for U20 non scorers and an U11 quadkids competition.

Finally, we compete in the Hampshire vets league which is for those age 35+ and this friendly league team is selected by the Vets Team Managers.

If you are in any doubt about which league is right for you please talk to your coach and we look forward to seeing you compete in league matches in 2024.
