CLOSURE OF WAITING LIST

As of 1st September 2013 we regret to announce that due to an influx of joining enquiries since the Olympics, Calderglen Harriers Junior Section are closing their waiting list as we are unable to safely accommodate any more new athletes at this time.

Anyone already on the waiting list will be given priority for places.  We will continually review the waiting list and will contact people when a place becomes available.  However we reserve the right to accommodate an athlete within a training group that is sufficiently staffed to cope with one or two extra athletes.  If your child’s name is on the list and you no longer want to be on the list please contact the Junior Coordinator, Richard Lawton by e-mail at calderglenharriersjuniors@hotmail.co.uk

Going forward we are looking at finding solutions to resolve this so we don’t have a large waiting list and as a running club we are looking beyond the current situation as we have Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games in August which will create demand.

Coaches & Volunteers – Calderglen Harriers need you!

To accommodate the demand for our junior section we wish to add further to our coaching contingent so we can accommodate as many aspiring athletes as we possibly can.  If you or you know anyone who is interested in running, would like the opportunity to coach kids from 6 years and upwards we would like to hear from you.  The club can provide:

• Formal and informal coach education to become a coach
• 100% support to allow you to build your confidence and learn
• Already a qualified UK Athletics Coach, we can support you to progress through further coaching qualifications
