Jumps group

We take athletes from Under 13 (school years 6&7) and above, there is no upper age limit however we do not offer Triple Jump to athletes in the U13 age group. A Whatsapp group is used for general communication. All of our training has a technical base providing an environment for athletes to develop the skills required for these events.
