You must be a member of an Athletics West Little Athletics Centre to access this membership category. We recommend talking to your Little Athletics Centre to find out which Senior Club they have an affiliation with.

To move to another club, you must contact the club you wish to move to and request an Athlete Transfer. The athlete is responsible for paying any club membership fees to the new club.

Both clubs must approve the transfer request before it is authorised by Athletics West. Club administrators can contact Athletics West for assistance in completing a transfer in REVSport.
