It possible for Grade 6 athletes to upgrade their membership, but please check in with us first to make sure this is the right option.
Competitive Membership
This membership is for athletes aged 7 and above, as at 31st December 2026, who want to compete beyond local Country Meets. It is recommended that athletes have participated in one social season before registering as competitive. Coaching sessions run from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm on Thursday Club Nights from 15th October to 25th March 2027. Competitive athletes are eligible to compete in our club comp days and are expected to participate in at least two of the following events:
-
Mini Multis - Dunedin (November)
-
Colgate Games - Invercargill (January)
-
Otago Champs - Dunedin (March)
With these events being outside of Central Otago, travel is a consideration. The club has a travel fund and may be able to assist with some travel costs. If you would like to register as a competitive athlete but travel costs may be a hurdle, please contact us to discuss carpooling, minivan options, or shared accommodation to help reduce costs.
