Are you aged 14 or older and looking to try something new this year? Or perhaps you are looking to take your athletics to the next level? Blackrock Athletic Club is pleased to announce that we have places available to members of the community aged 14 and older.

What to Expect

Junior Membership is a mixture of competitive and fun-focused members. Some enjoy taking part in competitions and train very hard to achieve their goals, while others prefer to use athletics to meet new people, for example, but all enjoy the physical and mental health benefits that come from the sports and training involved. Competitive athletes are highly-supported and have access to some leading coaching and facilities as part of their membership. All members are welcome and encouraged to take part in competitions, regardless of their ability.

How to Join

Membership is open to those aged 14+. Due to volunteers available, there is a waiting list for those aged younger. However, to avoid confusion, we ask that all members or parents of members under 18 complete our waitlist form which can be found here. Those aged 14+ will be contacted soon after with registration details.
