Welcome to QuadKids Tyne and Wear

QuadKids is a new and exciting athletics concept designed to give more children the opportunity to participate in and enjoy the benefits of track & field athletics and also to identify the stars of tomorrow. Specifically designed to be inclusive, competitive, quick, fun and simple to run, QuadKids can operate in both schools and clubs, giving more children the opportunity to experience the core athletics disciplines of running, throwing and jumping. QuadKids is a team based quadrathlon competition where each athlete does a sprint, a middle distance run, a long jump and a throw. It is primarily targeted at young athletes from the age of 7-13.

England Athletics has selected QuadKids to be part of a national framework for athletics competition in England. From 2009 QuadKids will be working with England Athletics and the various governing bodies to deliver Athletics based competitions in schools and clubs.
