New for 2022
Here are events of interest for juniors that are coming up in the next year. Unless it says, you can take part in any of these events, no matter your experience.
There is a list of competitions where you represent SYO (or region/school), one of the Selection races for the 4 main Summer training camps, one of bigger National competitions and events that you might find fun to try.
