FPSG Age Group Champs info

After a hectic weekend at Grangemouth for the FPSG Seniors and U17s, we’ve another 700 or so athletes getting ready for the FPSG Age Groups.

The U13s compete on Saturday and the U15s are at ASV on Sunday with the U20 age group programme split over the two days.

If you are in the Grampian area, or even a little further afield, why not come along over the weekend and support club-mates or friends and watch championship athletes featuring the next generation?

Admission is £3 per adult with U16s free. It’s £5 for admission with a programme.

Once again we would like to express our thanks to our track and field sponsors, FPSG Recruitment, for their support and, of course, our hard-working scottishathletics Officials who are making plans for Aberdeen during a hectic period in the summer season. Thanks!

*Registered scottishathletics coaches are invited to join us on Sunday from 11am to 1pm at the FPSG Age Group Champs for tea, coffee and a morning roll and a chance to chat athletics.

Then, come Sunday, the attention switches to the juniors, who will be converging on Aberfoyle for the trial races used to decide the teams for the Junior Home International.

This year that event is taking place in Ireland on Saturday 8 September. On Sunday, there will be trial races for U20 and U17 athletes, with males and females running the same course. There will also be a separate race at U15 level and a fun run for all ages.
