When groups do long jump they will split into 2 sub-groups using separate pits. When groups do shot they will split into 2 sub-groups using separate throwing circles. Therefore we will need a lot more parents to help, please.

Warning – wearing of spikes is allowed but you should also bring some normal running shoes for shot put and also if there are any games
