Young athletes in grades four through eight are encouraged to sign up for the 30th annual Irvine Junior 
Games, which will be held on Sunday, May 7 at Irvine Stadium.
The long-running track and field competition is comprised of a number of activities including distance running, sprints, relays and field events, such as the standing long jump, the basketball shoot and the soccer kick. The entrance fee is $35 per athlete, and students can register at irvinejuniorgames.com
The Irvine Junior Games was established in 1986 both as a fundraiser for the Irvine Children’s Fund as well as a platform to encourage elementary-age kids to embrace health and athletics. Each year, more than 1,500 IUSD students participate in the event.
