All the matches will take place at the Robin Park Arena starting at 6.30pm and the dates for these are 30th May, 20th June and 11th July. These will be followed with a medal meeting on Friday 8th August
There are three teams involved in the Primary League, these being Chorley Athletic Club, Horwich Harriers and Wigan Harriers. This season there are two age groups that points will be awarded for - school years 2, 3 and 4 are combined into one age group and school years 5 and 6 form the other age group. We are trying to encourage lots of people to take part, but if the year 6 athletes are already competing for their clubs on a regular basis in Mid Lancs or Young Athlete's leagues, then this is a chance for the other Primary Group athletes to compete!
The events are different for each match, with an emphasis to encourage youngsters to try out the field events (because we know that
they all like to run anyway!). On each evening an athlete may compete in three events only and this must be one track and two field events or two track and one
field event. The events on offer at each match are as follows:
Match 1
- 75 Metres (Both Age Groups)
- Long Jump (Y2/Y3/Y4)
- High Jump (Y5/Y6)
- Shot (Y2/Y3/Y4)
- Javelin (Y5/Y6)
- 600 Metres (Both Age Groups)
Match 2
- 150 Metres (Both Age Groups)
- Long Jump (Y5/Y6)
- High Jump (Y2/Y3/Y4)
- Shot (Y5/Y6)

Match 3

At the Medal Meeting in August all events will be on offer. To qualify for the Medal Meeting an athlete must have competed in at least one of the league fixtures, and an athlete will only be allowed to compete in three events at the Medal Meeting.
