The Avon Schools league is an annual competition open to all schools in the area. It is a series of 8 Sunday morning orienteering events held throughout the year in which competitors score points for themselves and for their schools.

Orienteering is an exciting sport which provides a tough mental and physical challenge to the competitor as they use a map to race around an unknown area of forest or moorland. The sport is perfect for people of all fitness levels as you can compete at your own pace. It is a great way to explore the countryside and a good way to learn map-reading and decision-making skills.

Through the Avon Schools League you can find out more about your local orienteering club and take part in national competitions like the British Schools Championships. From there, who knows where it might take you!?
