Cheshire Youth Games 2002

The Cheshire Youth Games 2002 at Macclesfield proved to be a huge success with athletes from VRAC being members of the winning Years 7 & 8 team athletics team.

Athletes from schools in the borough of Vale Royal attended trials over a period of several weeks, from the trials athletes were selected to attend training sessions with Vale Royal Coaches Neil Templeman and Sue Clarke.  The final team of 7 boys and 7 girls was then selected from the training sessions.

Each athlete had to compete in a running race, a throwing event and a jumping event as well as a relay event.  The emphasis of the games was on team spirit.

The Vale Royal Team won the competition (Years 7 & 8 athletics) as well as the Fair Play award for Sporting Conduct.
