COMPETING

Camberley & District Athletic Club competes throughout the year in a number of athletics meetings. The competitive meetings put into practice all the hard work and training that the athletes have achieved throughout the year. Each athlete will have their own personal aims at each meeting, which will have been previously discussed with their coach. They may be attempting a personal best, a graded time or even a medal position.

As well as personal goals each athlete is competing as a representative of the Club and many of the meetings are league meetings where the club strives to be the best club in the league. It is therefore important that all athletes attend as many competitive meetings as possible. A good turnout at all the league meetings can make a huge difference in the Club's finishing position in the league.

Club Vests
When competing, all athletes must wear the gold and green Camberley & District Athletic Club vest. These cost £13.50  and can be purchased from Denise Holman at training.

Transport
Meetings are held at various venues depending on which club is hosting the event. Some are local i.e.Woking, Reading or Guildford, some further afield i.e. Bournemouth, Southampton. It is parents responsibility to ensure their child is at the event a minimum of an hour before their first race or field event, ensuring adequate warm up time and mental preparation time for the race. Warming up is an essential prerequisite of any race and gives the athlete an opportunity to give of their best and, most importantly, to avoid injury. Parents do often lift share so do ask around.
