Club Nights
Club Nights run every Tuesday at 5.45pm - 7.30pm from 27 October to 23 March, with a small break over Christmas and New Year. Club nights are a mix of some timed and measured events and other events that are done for coaching/practice.
We ask that athletes arrive by 5.45pm for check-in and a briefing for the night and events start at 6.00pm. If you need to pick up uniforms or have anything else you’d like to talk to us about, please come and see us between 5pm-5:45pm.
We also hold a ‘Have a Go Night’ on 20 October who would like to get a taste of athletics before deciding whether or not to commit to the season.
Volunteers - we need you!
Our club nights are only possible thanks to the support of our parents and families. We need as many parents as possible to get involved and help us deliver a fun, supportive, and educational athletics programme for our young athletes. Don’t be shy - the success of these nights depends on your help!
There are a variety of volunteer roles available, and we'll provide all the information and support you need to get started.
Age Grade Liaisons
Support and supervise an age group throughout the evening, helping children move between events safely and assisting with recording results. It's a great way to be involved and follow your child's activities during the night.
Station Hands
Help run individual event stations such as long jump, discus, shot put, high jump, starters, and finish line duties.
Pack Down
Assist with packing away equipment and tidying up at the end of the evening. Many hands make light work.
Nursery Grade Coordinator
Lead the Mana Minis programme for four to six-year-olds. Sessions typically run from 6.00pm to 7.00pm on Club Nights.
BBQ Volunteers
Help run our popular club night sausage sizzle. It's a great way to reward the athletes at the end of the evening and creates a fun social atmosphere for families.
Things to know
In accordance with our rules of operation, we require all volunteers to complete a simple registration process to participate in Club nights.
