Afternoon HaiFASTers

We are excited to share that Athletics Nova Scotia has received approval from the Nova Scotia Public Health Authority for its Return to Sport Training Phase 1 plan. As you can imagine, there are a number of safety protocols and procedures we will need to observe in order to keep our Athletes, Coaches and Volunteers safe as we return to sport.

Limits on the size of group gatherings permitted by Provincial Health Officials will impact our training schedules and how many Athletes we are able to have back on the track and field at any given time.

For those Athletes in groups resuming organized group training, Thursday, July 2, 2020 will be the first day back. In the meantime, Athletes following training programs provided by their Coaches may continue to do so.

Please stay tuned for upcoming communications as we will begin to share the details of our group training resumption plan in the days ahead. First up will be a link to Athletics Nova Scotia’s Return to Sport Training Phase 1 plan. Athletes (over the age of majority), Coaches, Parents/Guardians and Volunteers will be required to read and acknowledge they understand and agree to comply with all applicable rules, regulations, safety protocols and procedures prior to resuming organized group activities.

We look forward to a safe and healthy summer as we get back on the track and field!

TRAINING SCHEDULE

HaliFAST Athletics

Founded in 2009, HaliFAST is now Nova Scotia’s largest track club, boasting nearly 150 athletes. Our athletes range from 8 years old to 30+ masters competitors, from beginners to national senior champions, recreational runners to provincial record holders, national team members, and even a few Olympians along the way. We were the 2013 NS provincial club champions, and the 2014 Atlantic club champions. On the coaching front, we have a top notch volunteer staff, many of whom also coach at the university level and a number of whom have either coached athletes on or were staff on Team Canada in recent years.
