*Minors sessions will be restarting on Sunday 20th June 2021*
Due to the recent Covid Pandemic the club is unfortunately no longer able to handle cash and offer a “pay as you go” option, therefore the payment system for Minors session is changing. We request that you pay online quarterly. The payment will cover your Watford Harriers membership of £25 and Track fees of £30 a quarter. Therefore the payments will be Q2 (July – Sep) £55, Q3 (Oct – Dec) £30 and Q4 (Jan 22 – March 22) £30. Please email membership@watfordharriers.org.uk with your child’s name and you will be sent a secure
email with payment details.
Due to this change in process, the first two sessions in June (20th & 27th) will be free for all attendees, to enable time for payments to be set up, after which membership details will need to be shown each week to enable Athletes to train. Anyone without proof of membership will be declined from training.
Any new starters will continue to receive 3 trial sessions and need to check-in with a member of the Harriers committee each week, after which point they must sign up as a member and pay as detailed above.
The session starts at 10.30am every Sunday - PLEASE ENSURE YOU ARRIVE BY 10.15AM, ready for the session to start promptly at 10.30am.
The Minor Harriers is our youngest section and caters for athletes in the 7-12 age group. The aim is to give youngsters an introduction to athletics, whilst helping them to master the basic skills. We hold monthly Sportshall events for our minors and also encourage them to participate in our Minors Open Meetings, which are held three times a year. Details of this are at the bottom of the page. Any other queries regarding the minors section, please email Carl Reid.
We offer a pathway for minors through to junior athletics at the club, this info can be downloaded from our Junior Section page.
