Junior Names for 9 September 2025

GSAL athletics track map

These sessions will be at GSAL,

  • 3 groups (57) at GSAL at 5:55
  • 3 groups (40) at GSAL at 6:45
  • 1 group (20) at Beckett Park at 7:15

If we have to cancel or change the venue, there will be a message here by 4pm Tuesday

For the “C” group it will be normal arrangements so just skip to the list of names.

For everyone else, please read all this page, but start by reading

https://www.valleystriders.org.uk/juniors-training-at-gsal-2025/

This has all the information about who you can bring, the earliest time you can arrive, where to park, how to get from the car park to the athletics field, what to do (and what not to do) when you get there etc etc.

The “Names For …” page that you are reading deliberately doesn’t repeat information in the “Training at GSAL 2025” page- you do need to read both pages.
