INTERCLUB MEETS
Athletics Wellington organises six Interclub track & field meets each season for children aged 7-15 years (age as at 31 December in the year that the season commences). A
Full season programme for all Junior Interclubs meeting and Championship dates is available below. Children compete in their club uniform and gain points that count towards Interclub trophies that are awarded at the end of the season.

EVENTS & PROGRAMMES
The Interclub meets provide a great opportunity for children to experience a wide range of athletics events including shot put, discus, long jump, high jump, track races from 60m up to 1500m distances, race walking, hurdles, steeplechase and relays.  Athletes remain with their age-grade groups during the meet, and move between events in rounds. Events offered for each grade are adjusted to suit the age of athletes, and not all events are offered at each meet. You can check each meet page for the schedules.

The programme of Events is published HERE for all Interclubs.
A programme for Lower Hutt Medal day, Paraparaumu Ribbon day and the AW Junior Championships will be published separately.
