Lower YDL 2019 Season
It’s that time of year again !
If you wish to be considered for the Lower Age Group YDL please fill out the form below
indicating your availability and your current PB’s for each event. Please ensure your Club
membership is upto date.
For those that are new to the Club or Athletics…. The YDL (Youth Development League) is a national club
league competition, for U20, U17, U15 and U13 age group athletes. The league is divided into the ‘Upper
Age Group (UAG)’ (U20 and U17), and ‘Lower Age Group (LAG)’ (U15 and U13).
The league is geographically divided into regions:
· Northern
· Midland
· Southern
· Scotland & Northern Ireland (LAG only)
Within each region there are two Premier leagues, and below these, a number of local area leagues. The
City of Sheffield & Dearne AC in in the Northern Region and East 1 division.
We compete against 4 other clubs in 4 meets to gain points. With promotion or relegation places at the end
of season….(bit like the Football League).
How we gain points … We enter two athletes for each age group for each event. One is our A athlete and the
other is B. Depending where they finish in their string (A/B) they will gain points.
We also get a lot of points for providing Officials (don’t have to be qualified!), here’s where parents can help..
we have to provide so many per meet, so fancy raking some sand /retrieving a shot! let me know if you
would on form below.
This year we are competing against _
Chesterfield & District AC / City of York AC / Scunthorpe & District AC / Middlesbrough (Mandale) AC
Team Selection :
Firstly, can we say that being invited to represent the club in the YDL is a great achievement and brings with
it the opportunity to compete against some of the best athletes in the Region at no cost to yourselves and the
bonus is all results go onto the Power of 10.
As a club we would love to gain promotion back into the Premiership, therefore will be hoping to put out our
strongest team.
The teams will be selected by the team managers, in consultation with the Club and coaches. Who will firstly
go on the Power of 10 (current performances eg 2019 season) so get some scores on there !. Next, we look
at past performances (2018 season) and best fit timing-wise of events, Whilst also working very closely with
all your coaches to see where they think their athletes would perform best.
The dates & locations for this seasons meets are :
Sat 27th April – Doncaster AC
Sat 18th May – City of York AC
Sat 22nd June – Middlesbrough AC
Sat 20th July – Scunthorpe AC
Team Managers this year are:-
Neil Bentley – Boys & Jo Mycroft & Leigh Paddon :- Girls
(Pls note, This will be their last year as managers, as their children will be moving up, So we would love to hear from
anyone who fancies take up the mantle of managing next year)
