Spar Sprints and Jumps Challenge
Spar Sprints and Jumps Challenge is an individual school challenge taking place throughout October, November and December where young people from across the East Riding will take part in a programme to identify explosive talent!
A 30m Sprinting Challenge and a vertical jump challenge will be taking place at most schools within the East Riding of Yorkshire.
This challenge will travel through numerous East Riding schools and will hopefully test over 2000 pupils.

Prizes will be awarded to the fastest sprinters and highest jumpers in each year group and following the event the top 3 boys and girls in each year will invited to coaching sessions delivered by Bob Hadfield, UKA Performance Coach to enhance their sprinting talents.
