Membership fees for 2024/25
With the current financial climate placing a strain on families, Nowra Athletics Club have retained all fees at 2023/2024 prices to support participation in the great sport of athletics.
Please note, our fees are configured with the ANSW set component and then a club fee added on top. This is the only source of revenue for our Club.
We have not added any dollars to the cost of our youngest athletes. The $70 fee for children born in 2020 and 2021 and the $90 fee for children born in 2019 is set by ANSW, so the Club does not gain any money from this registration. However, we are committed to encouraging the very youngest to join our Club and have fun with athletics for their entire journey through our sport.
For our junior athletes, from 6’s up to our 19’s, the Club fee portion is just $20.
For anyone experiencing genuine financial hardship, please reach out to the Club.
2024/25 season memberships are valid from the 1st of October 2024 through to the 31st of July 2025.
Our Club membership covers Summer Track and Field, organised Social Runs, and Winter Cross Country competition.
You must be a current financial member to participate in our Club events. There is no cost for volunteers, administrators or officials.

Multi-Club Membership Policy
The partnership between Athletics NSW and Little Athletics NSW has created new opportunities for membership with the Multi-Club Membership Policy
The full policy from NSW Athletics can be read HERE.
In summary:
- For those aged 13 and up: They can hold a full competitive membership with up to two clubs.
- Registration with their first club is done via that club’s registration portal. For example, register with Nowra Athletic Club HERE. This membership costs the full list price.
- Registration for their second club is done via application, completing and submitting the form HERE. The cost for this can vary from club to club. A ‘second club’ membership with Nowra Athletics Club varies from $20 to $70 depending on the age category.
- For those aged 13 and up (including Masters):
- Athletes can represent either club at higher-level events (details to be specified on entry).
- At State relays, they can compete for both clubs, but not in the same event or age group.
- For those aged 12 and under: They can hold one full competitive membership and a community membership with any number of other clubs.
For example, a 10-year-old can join Shoalhaven Little Athletics to compete at all Little A’s Club nights and compete for Shoalhaven Little Athletics at Zone and Regional Championships. They may also wish to also participate in Nowra’s Wednesday night competition.
