Cork County Athletics County Board’s highly popular CYDI/Winter Coaching Series will resume this September, at CIT Track.

Last year saw the expansion and development of the programme, with new initiatives introduced. Two coaching sessions took place each day, with selected CYDI athletes training from 1pm to 2:30pm, followed by an open session, from 2:30pm to 4pm.
The focus for the CYDI group is to focus on the challenge of achieving qualifying standards for European Youth Olympics.

We also congratulate Adam Turner (Belgooly AC), who secured his first Irish International selection, on the Irish Schools team at the SIAB Nations Cup International.

Share Howard, Bandon AC, Cork City Sports Athlete of the Month July 2017

Not forgetting one of our coaches, Shane Howard (Bandon AC), who got his first International call-up, representing Ireland at the recent European Team League First Division T&F. Shane is a fabulous example that self-belief and dedication to training lead to achieving goals.

After review of last year’s programme by the coaches, and feedback from athletes and parents, the following programme has been put in place for this year’s CYDI/Winter Coaching Series at CIT Track.

Important Information

Cork athletics provides competition for juvenile athletes in events in the year before they compete at Munster/National level.

The primary aim of the Cork Athletics run CYDI & Winter Coaching Series is to raise the technical proficiency in selected track and field events, and to assist in the coaching of athletes for competition.

This series is in its 5th year, and Saturday sees the resumption of the Series, with the 2019 Autumn/Winter sessions.

The first session, from 1pm to 2:30pm, is for athletes who have already attained an advanced standard in the event.

The sole exception is the Hurdles, where only one session will be held, from 1pm to 2:30pm, starting with athletes born in the year 2009. Hurdles is a unique event.  As athletes move up an age-group each year, it becomes a new event for them, every year up to Senior level, as the Hurdle height and spacing changes.

A beginners/improvers session will be held from 2:30 to 4pm. The following age limits apply:

NB: THERE WILL BE NO TURBO JAVELIN TRAINING
