Welcome to QuadKids

QuadKids is a new and exciting sporting concept designed to give more children the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of athletics and also to help identify the stars of tomorrow.

England Athletics has selected QuadKids to be part of a national competition framework. From 2009 QuadKids has been working with England Athletics and the Youth Sport Trust to deliver athletics based competitions to a new generation and our goal is to reach 1 million school children each academic year.

QuadKids is a team based competition where each child does four events (sprint, run, long jump and a throw) and is primarily targeted at young athletes from the age of 7-13. Specifically designed to be inclusive, competitive, quick, fun and simple to run, QuadKids can operate in both schools and clubs, giving more children a sporting opportunity.
