Track & Field

The Track & Field section of the club operates from September through to March each year. We cater for all ages and offer specific training for the junior section of the club (ages 18 and under). If you’re older than 18, please get in touch via the Contact page and we can discuss what options are available for training for you depending on what discipline you’re interested in.

Track & Field 2022 & 2023

Online registrations are now open for summer athletics. The initial number of under 15’s we will be taking is 120. For athletes aged 15 and older, there are no restrictions on numbers. We also ask that new families for under 15’s talk to Kerry Gordon (club captain) before registering to ensure they understand the expectations of being a summer track and field member (there are commitments required for families to assist at inter club on Saturday mornings).

We will be having an information evening on October 14th and would like new families to attend.
