Senior Athletics

Image 37.jpg

STRIVE (or Senior Athletics) is a program offered by Athletics West which runs from October to April each year. Senior athletes must be aged 11 years of age or older as of 31st December 2024.

 

Competitions are held at the WA Athletics Stadium - days vary between Friday evenings, Saturday afternoons and Wednesday evenings.

​

We have several membership options ranging from competition only to memberships including training and competitions.

 

Athletes who compete at STRIVE may also qualify to represent WA at national events provided by Athletics Australia.

​

​

​

As Joondalup Athletics Centre is now a One Club centre affiliated with Athletics West, this also allows senior athletes to compete at our weekly competitions at HBF Arena. Depending on the level of membership you take up, these competitions may be included or they may incur a charge of $5.00 per competition. Members are required to nominate their intent to compete at Joondalup competitions via an online form no later than Thursday 12pm (midday) of the week they wish to compete in. Entry is not confirmed until payment has been received.  You will receive an email confirming your registration has been accepted. 

​

We also offer a community membership, allowing athletes aged 17 or above to compete at Joondalup competitions only, without affiliation to compete at STRIVE.  This membership is suited to parents wishing to compete on a social level or for our ex athletes still wishing to take part, but not on a competitive level. 

​

If you are new to Senior Athletics and are searching for a coach, we have access to several coaches who are affiliated with Joondalup Athletics Centre.

Frequently asked questions:

​

  • ​I am U14-U17 and I do not want to compete at STRIVE. As my age group is no longer included in State Junior Championships, do I need a senior membership to be able to compete at State Senior Championships?

    

           No. All Little Athletics members are eligible to compete at State Senior Championships within their         

           relevant age group. When registering for this event, you can submit your Little Athletics bib number.

​​

  • I am already a Joondalup member for Little Athletics, how do I sign up to also compete at STRIVE and senior competitions?

​​

          If you are in the U12-U17 age groups then you are eligible for dual membership. Once your Little                              Athletics membership is confirmed you can register for seniors.

​

  • I am under 17 years old and want to compete at STRIVE and Joondalup but only as a senior. Can I join Joondalup as a senior member only?

​

         Yes. You do not need to be a Little Athletics member to register as a Joondalup Senior.

​

  • ​If I am registered as a senior athlete only, can I still compete in my age group for Joondalup and State Championship events?

​

         Senior athletes competing at Joondalup Saturday competitions can only compete in the open/senior                   category. Age groups are reserved for Little Athletes only. Senior athletes competing at State                                   Championship competitions will compete in their relevant age-group.

​

  • Is coaching included in Senior Membership?​

​

         We have a number of membership options available. Some come with training included and some are for           competition only.  We can also recommend other specialist coaches for you to contact within the metro               area.  Please contact admin for further information on coaches.
