Juniors

Orienteering is an outdoor adventure sport which is suitable for all ages. A range of courses are usually on offer, making orienteering a sport where the whole family can participate in a physical activity at the same time and place.

Orienteers are classed as Juniors up to and including the whole of the calendar year during which they turn 20 years of age.

There are courses suitable for juniors at almost all NSW orienteering events. The full NSW Event Calendar is available from the main Events page, which also includes links to local events in Sydney and regional NSW and a description of the different types of events.

Training opportunities for juniors are available within each club, at coaching/training days and through the NSW Junior Squad.

Activities specifically for Juniors are listed on the Junior Events and Activities page.

For information on events and orienteering programs for schools, see the Schools page.
