📢 Ardee & District AC Needs Coaches! 📢

We are looking for more coaches to help support the growing number of juvenile athletes in our club.

A Level 1 Coaching Course is being organised, and this is a great opportunity for anyone who would like to get involved in coaching. Whether you're a current parent, volunteer, athlete, former athlete, or previous coach, we'd love to hear from you.

Coaching is a rewarding way to give back to the club, help athletes develop, and be part of their sporting journey. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🌟

Proposed Course Dates:
📅 Weekend 1: 25th & 26th September
📅 Weekend 2: 9th & 10th October

The Friday evening sessions will be short online sessions (2–3 hours), while the Saturday sessions will take place on the track and focus on practical coaching skills across a range of athletics events.

If you have ever considered coaching, now is the perfect time to get involved. Even if you're only thinking about it, we'd be delighted to chat with you.

Please contact the club or speak to one of our coaches for more information.

Just home from a fantastic evening at the Blackrock Races with our Ardee and District Athletics Club juveniles. Here's a selection of action shots and fun moments from a brilliant night of racing, teamwork and club spirit. We couldn't be prouder of every athlete who represented the club so well.

A huge thank you to Blackrock AC for hosting such a well-organised event and to all the volunteers and officials who helped make the evening such a success.

A full medals recap will follow tomorrow, but for now there's plenty to celebrate. Well done everyone!

A fantastic weekend for our juvenile athletes at Ardee & District AC at the Leinster Championships.

Charlotte delivered a brilliant performance in the shot put to secure a Leinster bronze medal. A fantastic achievement and a well deserved reward for all her hard work and dedication.

Aoife continued her excellent form with an outstanding performance to claim a Leinster silver medal. A huge achievement at provincial level and another proud moment for the club.

Competing in his first ever Leinster Championships, Alfie produced a superb run in the 1500m, finishing 6th in a time of 4:59. To finish sixth in Leinster on his debut appearance is a fantastic achievement and a sign of great things to come.

Congratulations to all three athletes on representing Ardee & District AC with pride. We are incredibly proud of your performances and the commitment you've shown throughout the season.
