NORTH BATTLEFORD — Youth interested in learning and honing track and field skills are invited to attend a SOLE-stice Classic regional meet at North Battleford City Track Saturday, June 8 beginning at 10 a.m.
The SOLE-stice Classic is a series of meets designed to replace the Hershey Meets. These meets are grassroots events for young athletes to get involved in running, jumping and throwing competitions. This program is 小蓝视频 sponsored by Aboriginal Track & Field of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Athletics.
Participants can run, jump and throw in an event that stresses fun rather than competition. For some participants, the program offers an opportunity to refine their natural abilities. For others, it may be the spark that ignites their interest in an activity that is mentally, physically and socially rewarding.
The regional meet in North Battleford will be accepting on-site registration. No entry fees are charged to participate. First and second participants from the regional meet advance to the provincial meet held in Saskatoon on June 22 at Gordie Howe Complex.
Age group classifications are determined by the participant's year of birth — Meteors (born 2015-16), Comets (born 2013-14) and Stars (born 2011-12).
Events offered are:
Meteors — 50m, 100m, standing long jump, ball throw;
