Innyvale Athletics Club

On the advice of Athletics Ireland and the Government, all group training sessions are cancelled indefinitely. We know this will be disappointing to many of our members but we hope that everyone understands the need to prevent groups of children physically interacting with each other, particularly in a club which heavily uses javelins, shot putts, relay batons etc that are handled by all as well as the number of children at our training.

We hope everyone stays positive and supports each other during this time and of course practices their social distancing, staying two meters away from each other. The more of us who do this, the shorter the Government restrictions will have to be. We look forward to seeing everyone safe and well once things return to normal.
