Southern Darts
Upcoming training days:

Who are the Southern Darts?
The Southern Darts is an orienteering training group for children aged 8-11 years. These are the years children learn basic orienteering skills and transition to independent orienteering.
Our training activities are held once a month before orienteering events. They are fast, fun, and focused. Children learn one to two new skills at each training session which they can use in practice in the event after.
All training events are free, but you’ll need to register and pay for the event after.
Training events usually start 40mins before the event starts. More information will be available at a closer date.
