Dear year 9-13 Students and Parents/Caregivers,

We are excited to announce the inaugural Scots College Athletics Club Selection Trials for the 2026/27 season!

TRIAL DETAILS

• Date: Friday 23 October 2026

• Venue: Scots College Athletics Field/Grounds

Events and Disciplines

Students will participate in a range of assessment activities administered by the Athletics Coach and coaching assistants.

• Relay Events: Selection for Scots College relay teams
• Road Race Championships: Students interested in representing Scots College in the Road Race Championships, held alongside the NZSSAA Athletics Championships, should also attend these trials.

Athletes will be assessed on their performances, technical ability, and potential to represent the College at the appropriate level. Selection will be based on the assessment process administered by the coaching team.

What to Bring

Please ensure you arrive prepared with:

• Proper running shoes

The trials are an important first step in building our athletics programme and identifying students who can represent Scots College with pride during the 2026/27 season.

We encourage all interested students to come ready to challenge themselves, demonstrate their abilities and be part of an exciting new chapter for Scots College Athletics.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Kind regards,
