SunCoast Regional Relays Nominations Now Open
SUNCOAST REGIONAL RELAYS CARNIVAL
SATURDAY 9TH NOVEMBER at Nambour Little Athletics
(PCYC Grounds, Nambour)
This major LAQ event encourages and allows athletes to compete in track and field teams and is by far the most popular of our Association Days both from a competition and spectator basis.
Regionals Relays is a competition open to athletes Under 7 upward. Under 7 and 8 athletes compete at Regional Relays only. No competition is held at a state level for these age groups.
Teams will be selected for both track and field events to compete against other Centres from our Region. Teams for track events have 4 members while field teams have 2 members.
As in previous years, we will be working with other ‘Small Centres’ such as Maroochy & Bli Bli to form Composite Teams, and these teams will be eligible to progress to the State Relays.
The first 3 place getters overall in each event from Under 9 to Under 17 will progress to the State Relay Day to be held at the State Athletics Facility (SAF) in Brisbane on December 14th 2019.
NOMINATION FORMS & FEES
With a home ground advantage this year, we encourage ALL OF OUR ATHLETES to nominate in ALL EVENTS for their age group.
To assist with this, there will be a flat fee of $7.50 per athlete for all 5 eligible events.
(LAQ fees are normally $17.50 per athlete for all 5 events and NLAC will be contributing $10 per athlete).
