again referred to as Sportshall Athletics. The ‘All-Rounder’ incorporates individual athletic ability in a
multi-event environment, which is combined with practical skills and good team management. The
'All-Rounder' format helps to develop individual qualities whilst maintaining a team perspective and
prepares athletes for the dual demands implicit in membership of an athletic club or other peer group.

reserves. The six girls and six boys will compete in three events (and one relay) of which one must be

The nominated reserve may be substituted into one of these events.
