Athletics – Road to NAIG 2027 ID Session

Athletics (Track and Field) – NAIG ID Session 

As part of our Road to NAIG 2027 process, we will be offering sport ID sessions to see who is interested in trying out for Team PEI, and to gauge interest in specific sports. These sessions are informative and inclusive – they are not try outs – but they help us understand your level of interest and commitment. Sport ID sessions are a welcoming environment for athletes to learn more about a sport or even try it for the first time.

Date: August 4, 2025

Time: 5:45-7:00 PM

Location: UPEI Outdoor Track

Who: Athletes born between 2009-2014

Details: Athletes should wear sneakers (NO crocs, flipflops or sandals), comfy gym clothes, bring a water bottle and wear sunscreen. Youth will NOT be allowed to leave the track without a parent or guardian. Please come down to the track area to pick up your child.

PLEASE NOTE: This is not an official try-out but if your child is interested in trying out for track and field for NAIG 2027, it is IMPORTANT that they attend as many ID sessions as possible. All NAIG eligible youth can attend as many different sport ID sessions as they like – there’s no limit to how many you can try. It’s a great chance to explore new sports, learn skills, and find out which one you are most interested in pursuing.
