Yes, we’re having a Sports Day (or to be more precise, a sports hour-and-a-bit) next Tuesday at GSAL
There are 86 booked in. Please could everyone arrive by 6pm (6:05 at the latest) so we can arrange helpers for every activity/event.
The warm-ups and practice for the youngest groups (up to and including school year 4) will start at 6:12pm; all groups will have started warm-ups by 6:24pm or earlier.
The youngest groups (up to and including school year 4) are planned to be finished by 7pm, everyone finished by 7:12pm.
There is a lot of information here, but first go to the final table on this page and check that your child /children is/are on the list to come and if not then email me straight away.
The final table also tells you which group each child is in. Then please read through the whole page as this explains how the meeting will work. We do need more activity assistants on all 3 events; also it would be good if all groups had assistant leaders. If you’re able to volunteer for any of these vacancies please email me or post on Facebook.

Groups
I have by split by gender and school year and created 9 groups as follows.
| Group | No. athletes | Notes |
| BG0-2 | 12 | 6 boys, 6 girls |
| B3-4 | 10 | |
| G3-4 | 11 | |
| B5 | 8 | |
| B6 | 9 | |
| G5-6 | 8 | |
| B7-8 | 10 | |
| G7-8 | 8 | |
| BG9-11 | 12 | 8 boys, 4 girls |
NB The BG groups are mixed boys and girls
Events
There will be three events for everyone – 80m, 400m and Standing triple jump (standing long jump for year 2 and under). We’ve now added Shot Put for all groups ages 5 and above
This means that at any time,
- 3 groups are taking part in an event
- for 80m – two heats per group (see “special notes”)
- for 400m – one heat per group
- for triple jump – 12 in a row taking it in turns (probably two attempts)
- 3 groups can be preparing for their next event
- for 80m – doing strides and sprint starts
- for 400m – gentle jogging
- for triple jump – doing some practice jumps
- 3 groups can do other activities (I’ll set up some Adel-Alwoodley relays)

Special notes – 80m
Regarding 80m heats, if possible we will have all runners of the same gender and school year running in the same heat
If there are more than 8 of the same gender/schoolyear, then they will be split into two heats and the stopwatch used to determine overall positions. But if there is time, we will organise a run-off between the top 3 in each heat.
If there are 8 or 7 of the same gender/schoolyear, then we will have one heat but the starter and finish team will need to “negotiate” with the 400m event leader to ensure that there is not a 400m taking place while the inside lanes are used by 80m
