It is with great excitement that I tell you all about the changes to our centre for this coming season.
At our AGM this year we voted to become what is known as a one-club centre. This is a centre that not only has little athletics, but also offers a pathway through to senior athletics. These changes to our constitution have been approved and we are officially now known as Belmont Athletics Centre or BAC. So if you see changes to our branding across the next few weeks, this is why. We are now Belmont Athletics Centre.
What these changes mean.
For most of our members, it won’t mean anything. For all our younger little athletes (u6->u11) Saturday morning comps will all run as they always have no changes at all.
For our older athletes, u12 and older that have the desire to do senior strive events at the stadium on Friday evenings, as well as the Saturday morning comps at Gerry Archer, they will now be able to compete as Belmont athletics centre athletes at strive, not needing to join other senior clubs or compete as independent athletes.
For those older athletes that don’t have the desire to do strive events, nothing will change.
If you don’t know what strive events are, we will provide more information in future updates.
Our new offering from the 23/24 season will be social senior athletics at our centre. This will be done as training and competitions on Wednesday evenings at Gerry Archer. Social athletics will be available to all athletes that have aged out of little athletics, 17 years or older (yes this means parents as well if they want), but still wish to do athletics in a casual and fun atmosphere at Belmont. We are very excited about this and will have a bunch of information coming through shortly. Registrations for this will be done through Rev Sports portal.
