Important Update
In light of the recent changes introduced by CCAA, our Club has chosen to adjust and lower our 7 - 14 yr old membership fees. We know times are tough for many families, and we want to ensure our athletes can continue to enjoy competing in the Canterbury Children’s competitions without added financial strain. This step reflects our commitment to supporting our members and adapting to the challenges we all face together.

Run Jump Throw
|
Run Jump Throw will be restarting on 24th September 2025, and will be held every Wednesday from 4pm till 5pm with Have a Go Evenings on Friday Nights. This programme is offered to club members aged 6 - 10 year olds of all abilities and uses modified equipment and games to help maximise participation and enjoyment. The programme uses a bottom-up approach to teach skills and adaptations needed for athletics movements – so participants can learn the necessary fundamental skills and basic movement patterns in an inclusive, positive and supportive environment, and continue to refine their skills through our athletics club following on after they leave the programme. Participants will learn, grow their confidence and be challenged at their own pace. * Venue: TGHS, Martins Field, Timaru * Time: 4pm - 5pm * Dates: September - December |
