UK Young Athletics League
This is a national league which is divided into geographic regions. It is for U13, U15 and U17 boys and girls and takes place on Sundays. The venues cover a fairly large area taking in Kent, Sussex, Surrey, and London. The Club provides free transport for these meetings by way of a coach -times and venue to be confirmed. On board each coach will be your Team Manager, other coaches, officials and parents. We are currently in SOUTHERN LEAGUE SOUTHERN DIVISION.
Like the Kent league, this is regarded as a development league but again there can be some tough opposition. The Club encourages athletes to have a go at a variety of events and we don’t prioritise the best athletes in all events to get the maximum points .There are no non-scoring events or guest runners allowed in this league.
We are encouraging more athletes to take part in this league and our aims for 2011 are:
Encourage all U13s to take part in 2 UKYAL matches.
All U15s take part in to least 2 UKYAL matches.
All U17s take part in at least 3 UKYAL matches.

Role of Team Managers
Each Team Manager will ensure that athletes are aware of transport arrangements, timetables and the wearing of club colours. Each athlete must wear their Club vest to identify them (the Team Manager does have some spares but please do not rely on this) and each athlete has to wear bib numbers or letters which identify the Club.
These numbers or letters are issued by the Team Managers/Captains either before the meeting or on arrival at the meeting and are affixed to the athlete’s club vest using safety pins. Although the Team Managers have a supply of safety pins, some parents prefer to supply their own. The Club has a pergola and an AAC banner where the Team Managers will be based for the meetings. Please make sure that you check in with them when you arrive at the meetings if you have not travelled there via the Club coaches. Also please advise a team manager before you depart.
