 Welcome to the Juniors Section of the LBAC website
... where we pride ourselves in being a small but friendly club for children 9 years of age and over (as at 1st January). Winter training starts on the 6th October. We meet on the redgra at the rear of Tiddenfoot Leisure Centre on Tuesdays from 6.45-8.00 p.m. Hill training also starts on Thursday 8th October. We meet on Soulbury Road, at the bus stop opposite Bideford Green from 6.45 - 7.30. We compete in the East Anglian Track and Field league, this usually consists of four league meetings plus a final. There are some events for the Under 11’s but most cater for Under 13 upwards. We also take part in the Chiltern Cross Country league, when the more enthusiastic love getting wet and muddy!! The Club also selects athletes to enter the County Championships, Eastern County Championships and AAA Championships. Children will be offered an initial 2 week trial period, after which they will be expected to join the Club as there are insurance implications with non-members training.
