Entries open for PUMA School of Speed Series

South Africa’s most exhilarating schools’ athletics meet, the PUMA School of Speed Series will boast three events in 2021 and entries are now open.

Launched in 2016 with a clear goal to identify South Africa’s exceptional talent, the PUMA School of Speed Series is said to deliver on all promises.

The PUMA School of Speed Series will boast three events in 2021. On October 30 it will be at Dal Josaphat Athletics Stadium in Paarl, November 6 at TuksAthletics Stadium and November 13 at Ruimsig Stadium.

Michael Meyer, MD of Stillwater Sports, said they are excited to open entries for the 2021 PUMA School of Speed Series.

“The pandemic has impacted all our lives and our children have not been spared with school sports being postponed on numerous occasions. After a very exciting 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, SA’s junior track and field stars are hungry to compete. The PUMA School of Speed Series is the perfect event to curb that hunger,” he said.

He also said they were pleased to offer this opportunity.

“We are proud to give our junior track and field stars the opportunity to compete against top competitors at a world-class event. With PUMA, we look forward to continuing growing this sensational sport in South Africa while paving the way for ‘future stars’,” said Meyer.

PUMA marketing director Brett Bellinger reiterated they are excited to continue supporting the exhilarating sport of track and field.

“Launched in 2016 and headed by the World’s Fastest Man, Usain Bolt, the goal of the PUMA School of Speed is to identify exceptional young South African athletes. The energy experienced at the PUMA School of Speed meets is unsurpassed and we can’t wait to see SA’s junior track and field stars in action ready to prove that their future is #ForeverFaster,” said Bellinger.

The PUMA School of Speed Meets are endorsed by athletics federations, finishing times will count as official qualification for provincial and national championships.
