Club fees

  • Juniors 3-6 years $100
  • Seniors 7-14 years $150

(Based on age at 31 December 2023.)

Where do your fees go?

Club fees help to pay for equipment, prizegiving cups, medals and ribbons, coaching and venues.

We’re required to contribute $70 for every senior and $18 for every junior to Athletics Auckland and Athletics New Zealand. This contributes towards the governance of the sport, and to the organisation of national and regional events, support, coaching and resources. 

BBQ fundraising every Club night, and grants and sponsorships help us to keep fees as reasonable as possible. If you're interested in sponsorship, please get in touch.

Uniform

Singlets are $40 and can be purchased at Club nights.

Club uniform is required to be worn for all Club nights - this is the Eastern Athletics Club singlet with own black shorts. Age patch is worn on front left, and Club number on the back - use safety pins or sew these one. (If it’s chilly, a t-shirt can be worn under the Club singlet.)

When competing for Eastern at events outside the Club, all athletes must wear their Club singlet or Club crop top and black shorts.

Spikes can be worn by Grades 10 and up only.
