Club Night
Our club night is every Monday night at Moire Park. Warm-ups for the athletes start at 5:15pm, followed by the events at 5:30pm. You can view the club night programmes here once we confirm the programmes for this season.
Athletics will continue in the rain, unless it is torrential, or unless the council have closed our fields. If a club night is rained out, the programme is carried over to the following week. If you are unsure of a cancellation, please check the Facebook page after 3:30pm. It will be a normal club night on public holidays.
Children Under 4 years old
We have a special grade for those under 4 year olds... "THE MIGHTY MINI'S"
The Mighty Mini's have 3 races (30M, 60M, and 100M) and a field event (Long Jump or Hacky Sack throw).
The Mighty Mini's grade is all parent managed, so please make sure you step up and enjoy athletics with your 'Mini-Me'.
Children 4 - 9 years old
Children who are 4 - 9 years old compete in their grade each club night over 4 events that they will rotate through week to week on a 4 programme basis. Athletes who place 1st, 2nd or 3rd in an event get points that accumulate over the season to find the overall top 3 athletes in each grade.

Children who are 10 - 14 years old compete in their grade each club night over 5 events that they will rotate through week to week on a 4 programme basis. Athletes who place 1st, 2nd or 3rd in an event get points that accumulate over the season to find the overall top 3 athletes in each grade.

Club Championships
Club Championships are usually held on a Saturday or Sunday around February/March of each track and field season. The date depends on field availability and alignment with the Athletics Auckland Calendar.
Club Champs are open to all fully registered athletes who have attended at least 5 club nights.
To enter Club Champs, you must fill out an online entry form. The link to the form will be published closer to the event. Refer to our Facebook page for information on the event.
Children may enter up to 5 events. A draft programme will be available on this page and via our Facebook page closer to the event date. The final version of the programme is not published until all entries have been processed.
Full club uniform must be worn for Club Champs - NO EXCEPTIONS.
Please note that the correct red club shorts must be worn and the only exception to this is that black spanx/bike shorts can be worn by athletes 12 years or older. This does not include any other type of black shorts, i.e. rugby shorts and does not include any other colours.
We need alot of parent help to run all of the events efficiently! Club Champs are the only time of the season where club records can be broken and as such we need to ensure timing of track events and measuring of field events are accurate and not rushed. Ideally we need to have 4 people officiating all field events. and as many people as possible performing end of track and timing.
These are fun family days - ideal for grandparents and friends to attend as spectators. Bring a picnic or enjoy food from our BBQ.
Prize giving of certificates will take place at the end-of-year prize giving.
