After that we have a 1 hour indoor Sportshall Athletics session in the Ghyll Royd sportshall (6pm to 7pm) for 10 to 13 year olds during the Autumn and Spring terms. During the session the children work towards their Sportshall Athletics Level 3 award for 11 to 15 year olds which is a part of the Norwich Union shine award scheme.

We also encourage participation in the West Yorkshire U11 Sportshall Athletics trials. In the Summer term we go outside to do Track and Field Athletics on the IGS Playing Fields.
Saturday: 60 minute family fell run on Ilkley Moor from 9.30 to 10.30am with re-grouping. 8 to 16 years. Meet opposite Darwin Gardens. We encourage parents to run with their children at this session so it's not too taxing!! Sessions are free to JIH's and their parents.
Throughout the year we provide every child with a local Race programme giving details of Fell (FRA & BOFRA), Cross-Country, Terrain, Fun Run, Track and Field Athletics, Aquathlon, Triathlon and Orienteering events they can compete in. Competition is important so we encourage parents to support their children's interest by attending some of these events.
