The squad has a number of aims:
1. to take juniors that feel they have mastered the skills of white and yellow and teach them the skills required to tackle orange (and beyond) courses
2. to provide a social activity for the juniors to create a sense of team spirit and togetherness
3. to enter teams in the national junior competitions, namely the Yvette Baker Trophy, Peter Palmer, JK and British relays
4. to introduce juniors to the ideas of training to prepare them for possible entry to the North West Junior Squad (please see entry requirements at http://www.nwoa.org.uk/nwjs/about.html)

South Ribble junior squad training sessions are open to all juniors and cost £1 per session for club members (£2 for non members). Sessions normally take place once a month on Saturdays from ~ 10.30am for an hour and a half. In order to help us plan our sessions more effectively we do need to know who is coming in advance so it isn’t possible to just turn up on the day.

What to bring to Training Sessions

• Footwear - we may be on rough or slippery terrain so wear appropriate footwear. Anything from training shoes to walking boots are suitable.
• Full leg cover

• Fleece

• Waterproof

• Snack and drink
