Please find below an update on plans to hold National Juvenile Cross Country Championships.
​
Following a Regional Meeting last night which discussed the government restrictions currently in place whereby 200 people only can attend events the following is being proposed for the National Juvenile Championships in 2020:

• This year’s Championships will be an interprovincial championship.
• Top 15 individual athletes will qualify from each region at all age groups (including U16,U17 and U18) to the National Championships.
• Entry is through the regional secretaries only (no direct entry)
• All 15 athletes can score for the region
• 1 parent/guardian per athlete will be allowed attend.
• Regions can substitute athletes up until the closing date
• If government restrictions ease and should the numbers allowed to attend events increase, up until 2 weeks prior to the event, the committee will ensure that Club teams can enter.
• If any county is in lockdown there athletes will not be permitted to attend the Championships

In considering the above, the Dublin Athletics Board are still  planning, subject to the easing of restrictions, to proceed with their Even Age Championships on the 18th October and their Uneven Ages on either 1st or 8th November. 

IF YOUR ATHLETE IS PLANNING ON TAKING PART IN THE DUBLIN CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIP PLEASE EMAIL jnrcruentries@gmail.com with your athletes name, date of birth.  This will allow us to proceed quickly if the events are confirmed.

I am delighted to inform you that Dublin Athletics Board has been given approval to proceed with the Cross Country Juvenile League on this Sunday 20th September. 

IF YOU WANT TO ENTER PLEASE EMAIL jnrcruentries@gmail.com prior to 1800 this Friday with name and year of birth of athlete(s).  We will then respond advising of your athletes unique race number.  Please bring the entry fee of €3 (exact change) on Sunday to give to the Crusaders official. 

You need a Crusaders t-shirt or singlet to compete.  Same can be bought at training.    
 
Please find below:

• Timetable
• Cross Country Competition Guidelines
• Course Maps  

Please be advised:
No more than 1 designated individual per child/family/group of children competing should attend the venue.

1. NO Parents/Guardians will be permitted in the competition site area, as overall numbers MUST be kept to a minimum and in line with Government Guidelines.
2. As parents/guardians  are NOT permitted (unless appointed as a chaperone) clubs MUST appoint a chaperone who will bring the athlete (s) into the competition area and escort them off the course after their race. 
3. Electronic Contact Tracing & Health Questionnaires MUST be completed by officials, chaperones and parents/guardians on behalf of athletes U18 years of age through the link below no earlier than the evening before the event.

Regarding other fixtures, the Juvenile League 2/Novice Championships scheduled for 4th October will not be held in the Phoenix Park and the Even Age Championships will not now be held on 11th October in Abbotstown. A number of clubs have kindly agreed to host these competitions and are presently in the process of consulting with the relevant Local Authorities.
 
I will keep you updated, in the meantime, here’s hoping there will not be any further government announcements in the coming days in regard to Covid protocols for Dublin in particular that might necessitate cancelling the event.

​Please read the attached documents carefully to ensure you and your athlete comply with the requirements.

Yours in Sport

​It is with regret that the National Juvenile Championships for U17, U18 & U19 athletes on the 29th/30th August and the Combined Events for U14, U15 U16 & Youth’s on the 12th /13th September at the Morton Stadium have all been cancelled.
This decision follows detailed discussions and has not been taken lightly but it is for the benefit of all the Athletics community and is in keeping with the current Government guidelines.
Athletics Ireland are currently reviewing several logistical options in regard to all other upcoming competitions and we will revert to all stakeholders in the coming days once those decisions are finalised.
We thank you all for your understanding and patience at this difficult time.
Cancelled Events

• The National Juvenile Championships for U17, U18, & U19 - 29th/30th August 2020
  
• The Combined Event U14, U15, U16 & Youth’s - 12th/13th September 2020

Hi all,
 Hope you and your families are all keeping.
Please find attached announcement posted by Athletics Ireland yesterday and the timetable of events for the planned National U17/18/19 T&F Championships.
All registered athletes U17/18/19 are eligible to enter but entry is ONLY through the Regional Competition Secretary.  To enter please email: jnrcru@gmail.com wtih your athletes name, DOB and the events they wish to enter.
The Dublin Competition Secretary is in discussion with Leinster about setting up an online entry link that will allow Dublin athletes enter and pay directly for event (s). The entries will then in turn be approved by the Dublin Competition Secretary and the Leinster secretary and then submitted through the National competition online entry system. 
The Dublin Athletics Board are holding off on opening up an entry system until after the Government announcement on Phase 4 where 500 people will be allowed to gather outdoors, so all going well the plan is to open for entries from 12th August up to the 17th or 18th.

1) Timetable
2) Championship Information
​3) Parking for Morton Stadium

Thanks

In light of current circumstances, the National Juvenile Committee has taken the decision to postpone all 3 Juvenile indoor championship days.  These were scheduled for the 28/29th March and the 4th April.

The hope is to hold these on the 26th April (day 3 events), the 2nd May (day 1events) and 3rd May ( day 2 events).   

​Unfortunately if the Championships cannot be held on these dates the National Indoors will be cancelled for 2020.
