What's On

Club Night
SYO's club night will take place on Wednesday evenings during term time. We start back after the holidays on Wednesday 6th September. During September the sessions will take place from 6pm to 7:30pm at roving outdoor locations to take advantage of the light evenings. From October the sessions will move indoors and will be based each week at High Storrs school from 7pm-8.30pm. Each session will contain a mix of physical and technical training - details below:
Coaching & Development
SYO has an active coaching and development programme with sessions that combine technique and physical training and are suitable for people of all ages, experience and ability. We are also looking to train members to become event volunteers.
Schools League
The South Yorkshire Schools Orienteering League aims to provide school pupils with the opportunity to learn and develop map-reading skills while improving their fitness in a fun, competitive and challenging sport. The league runs from September to June.
Permanent Orienteering Courses
There are a number of permanent orienteering courses (POCs) throughout South Yorkshire which are available to try at your leisure for little or no cost. The table below lists all known POCs in South Yorkshire including details on how to obtain maps for the courses.
