NORTH Ayrshire Athletics Club held another very successful Easter Camp at the track in Saltcoats during the second week of the school holidays.

This year, the Easter Camp was based on the ‘Road to Doha 2019’ where the World Athletics Championships are taking place this year.

Athletes spent mornings practising long jump, high jump, javelin, endurance, sprints and shot putt.

In the afternoon, three groups of our youngsters were established where they chose to represent USA, Ethiopia and Italy in good-humoured competition.

A spokesman said: “We had ‘Crazy Hair’ Day and ‘Crazy Sock’ Day and we thank the parents who helped their young athletes to get fully involved.

“NAAC would like to thank all the young people who came along and who were so willing to get involved and participate.

“Most of all we would like to thank our coaches, adults and young people, who worked so hard and gave up their free time.

“Look out for advance notice of our Summer Camp.”
