We are keen to try and involve parents/carers in the activities of our club and would like to invite you to our training sessions where you can meet club officials, coaches, and athletes, to find out more about us.  HHS is currently working toward attainment of the Sport England Clubmark accreditation.  This is awarded to clubs by England Athletics, our governing body, when the club is able to demonstrate that it meets their criteria as to playing programme; child protection; sports equity and ethics; club management.  Working toward this accreditation shows the club takes these issues seriously and is striving to provide a high quality and welcoming environment for everyone in the sport of Athletics.

 

If you are interested in athletics, whatever your area or level of ability, please come along and see what we can offer. There is no obligation to join until you are comfortable what we offer is right for you.

If, as the parent or carer of a Young Athlete you would like to talk to someone about your child’s involvement in athletics with Hallamshire Harriers, or require any further information please contact,  in the first instance,
