How to Join – Young Athletes
If you are a parent/carer of a young athlete – aged between 11 and 14 on the next 31st of August – we have the following process in place:
- Contact the club at [email protected] and ask for the athlete to be put on the waiting list
- The club will contact you and invite you to a set of up to 3 induction sessions which will be held at the track.
- There is a one-off non-refundable £30 charge for U15s and U13s invited to the inductions
- The athlete and parent/carer both attend the first session, where expectations will be set for behaviour, attendance and volunteering
- The athlete will then attend a further introduction session to show the full range of events that the club supports and to start their training
- Hopefully, the athlete will want to join the club, so to then attend further sessions please click here.

What we expect
Please read the documents, which apply to you, on the guidelines and documents web page.
We are keen that all members should get the most they can from the club while understanding that athletics has a different priority for different members and that some will want to do more than others. The following notes are intended to give guidance on the broad expectation the club has of members:
- Members are expected to participate fully in the club so that the enjoyment and success of all can be enhanced. This means taking part in team events, whenever possible, or helping out in other ways to try to make events successful.
- All members are expected to treat each other with respect and to adopt the club’s equal opportunities policy.
- It is important that all activities are carried out safely. Equipment should be used only as appropriate for the relevant event. Members should NEVER cross the infield at the track except when part of a supervised group of throwers or taking part in a throwing event. All members should be aware of the activities of other athletes and avoid getting in each other’s way, through, for example, poor lane discipline.
