Reading Athletic Club is a long-running club which competes with clubs from all over the country. They run a popular junior club for school years 4 & 5 on most Sunday mornings during the year. The sessions are run by qualified coaches and fulfil a need in the community for children to try athletics. The children learn to develop their running, jumping and throwing skills, leading to the 10 yr olds competing in some non-scoring league events during the summer.
