Atlantis will be the last stop in the Western Province Athletic (WPA) Street Athletics series, where they will be hosted by the Velocity Athletic Club on Wednesday 25 October in Arion Drive at 14:30.
“As the custodians of athletics in the region, we are going to all communities, because athletics is for everyone and it is alive,” said WPA Head of Development Michael Schouw.
“Our youngsters need to realise that athletics can be a great career choice and that we as WPA are there to support them.”
General Manager of the Two Oceans Marathon NPC, who supports the event, Carol Vosloo commented: “We are proud to partner with Western Province Athletics and support the WPA Street Athletics series. Athletics development at grassroots level is a vital component of the long-term sustainability of the sport. While exposing these youngsters to friendly competition identifies the stars of tomorrow.”
The ultimate aim of the programme is that all children, from all areas, feel welcome to actively participate as the events take athletics to communities and the people.
The programme provides the opportunity to broaden their existing prospects within sport and other non-sports related areas.
Events are split into four age group categories (u-17, u-15, u-13 and u-10) for boys and girls.
The events will be hosted in the afternoon for two hours after school, to provide and enhance opportunities for communities to participate in athletic activities.
