The poster below explains which events are scheduled for each event.<br>U14s are defined as (typically) athletes in school years Y7 and Y8.<br>U12s are defined as (typically) athletes in school years Y5 and Y6.&nbsp; We will also take entries from Y4, provided the athlete is 9 years old on or before the day of competition. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will also be an open Steeplechase at the first two events, exclusively for U17 men (i.e. school years Y10 and Y11).&nbsp; This is to allow opportunity for that age group to achieve a qualification time for English Schools, as the age group changes mean the distance is significantly different in other fixtures (2000m instead of 1500m).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SYCAA clubs whose athletes&nbsp;compete at a particular fixture must provide 4 graded officials \u2013 2 field, 1 track, 1 timekeeper. Failure to do this will mean the number of athletes that club may declare will be limited to 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entry and event declaration will be organised in the same way that the SY Indoor Series, i.e. athletes acquire a number from their club representative and that number will enable each athlete to do up to 3 events maximum at each of the four fixtures.<br>The clubs issue the numbers, submit the event declarations, and pay SYCAA for the numbers issued and sold. Once a number has been declared, it must be paid for, whether the athlete competes or not.<br>All club representatives must declare their athletes by the preceding&nbsp;<strong><u>Tuesday<\/u><\/strong>&nbsp;to allow sufficient time to prepare a timetable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Numbers will cost \u00a316 for the 4 events.&nbsp; Please save your number to use at all fixtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entry to the Steeplechase events will be \u00a35 for each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/www.sycaa.org.uk\/track-and-field\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/SYCAA-U12-U14-Poster-2.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of SYCAA U12-U14 Poster.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-9cf41013-677b-43d1-a3c1-6efae85ee694\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sycaa.org.uk\/track-and-field\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/SYCAA-U12-U14-Poster-2.pdf\">SYCAA U12-U14 Poster<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sycaa.org.uk\/track-and-field\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/SYCAA-U12-U14-Poster-2.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-9cf41013-677b-43d1-a3c1-6efae85ee694\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once again, there will be FOUR outdoor events focusing on U12s and U14s.
