Clubs – register interest here

scottishathletics are pleased to announce plans for SUPERteams competition in the track and field season.

This will take the form of an initial 4J Studios Virtual SUPERteams Challenge during the month of May and then (hopefully) be followed by an actual event at a venue in June (details in due course).

Our 4J Virtual SUPERteams Challenge will take place throughout May 2021, with clubs able to offer the four events making up the Challenge as either another at-home competition opportunity; a training session-based competition; or even as a club-hosted SUPERteams event where athletes can complete all four elements head-to-head on the same day in a traditional competition format.

The Challenge is open to athletes in the U12 age group this time around, and will follow a similar format to previous Virtual SUPERteams Challenges with intra-club leaderboards for individuals feeding into national team results.

Clubs can update their leaderboards at any time throughout the month, with all final results to be submitted by Tuesday 1 June 2021.

The virtual event may also act as a qualifier for the National SUPERteams event planned for June 2021 – details to follow.

The events making up the 4J Studios Virtual SUPERteams Challenge have also been refreshed as we move towards a return outdoor group training in our usual facilities.

Events featured are: 75m (sprint), overhead throw (throw), long jump OR standing long jump (jump) and 600m (endurance).

Each event can also be adapted suit athletes of all abilities.

Clubs can register now and throughout May to take part. Once again, there is no charge to clubs to take part in this virtual event, but all athletes registering scores on the national leaderboard must be up-to-date scottishathletics members on the final day of the challenge in order to feature in the final results.

More information about taking part in the 4J Studios Virtual SUPERteams Challenge, or about hosting an event at your club, can be found on the dedicated fixture listing online
