JAAA PUMA Development Series Week #2

The Jamaica Athletics Administration Association has received a permit from the Government of Jamaica, through the Ministry of Sports and the Ministry of Local Government & Rural Development, to host Week 2 events on Saturday, February 19, 2022.

Two venues will be activated (G C Foster College 2.4, and the National Stadium 2.6). The National Stadium will be the first time for the series that we will accommodate Senior athletes. There will be strict enforcement of COVID 19 Protocols and all teams must have a certified COVID-19 Marshal.

ALL ATHLETES,  COACHES AND TEAM OFFICIALS WISHING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SERIES  MUST SIGN THE ATTACHED COVID-19 WAIVER.

Athletes under 18 years old must submit a waiver signed by a parent or guardian. The waiver can also be downloaded from the  JAAA website. (https://athleticsja.org/all-downloads/download-category/covid-19/) The signed waiver covers the athlete for the entire series and he/she only needs to submit it once.

Any athlete who does not sign the waiver will be disqualified in the official results as they would not have completed the registration process.

The Registration Portal will open on Thursday, February 10th and close Wednesday, February 16th* at 9:00 PM.
