The Club is fortunate to have a number of members who are highly skilled coaches with many years of experience within the field of athletics. Townsville North Star offers coaching and training in a range of disciplines to all age groups.
ANQ also conducts training sessions and coaching clinics on an ad hoc basis throughout the season. These usually attract a small fee and are open to all registered athletes. These events will be advertised on the respective websites and at Club competitions.
All Track casual use has an athlete fee of $3.40 paid upon entry at the Townsville Sports Reserve (entry via Burke St gates) PLUS a Club training fee of $5 per athlete per session to be paid to the coach prior to the commencement of the training session.

Club competitions are conducted at the Townsville Sports Reserve on Friday nights for all age groups commencing at 5.40 pm with a warm-up. The first event starts at 6 pm and the program generally concludes between 8 pm and 9pm, with the youngest age groups usually finishing at the earlier time. We follow a six-week rotating program (see events) and during the course of the six weeks, athletes will have participated in all events applicable to their age group.
The Sports Reserve is located in North Ward (14 Warburton St) and we use both the Burke St & Redpath St entrance for access. Ample on-street parking is available at both entrances. Parking in the vehicular access to the Townsville Sports Reserve on Friday nights is strictly for Committee members ONLY. Committee members use this parking bay to load and unload equipment necessary for club competition nights.
The first two Club competitions of the season are typical “trial nights’ and no points are awarded during this time. However, commencing on the 23rd of April, points will be awarded for athlete's performances and a personal record for each athlete is maintained throughout the season. Club records are updated and maintained on a regular basis and can be viewed either at the Club competitions or on the web site under “Results”.
Points will ONLY be awarded to athletes who are fully financial and wearing the full Club uniform with ANQ numbers attached. Club records can only be set at the Townsville Sports Reserve by fully registered athletes and must be verified by a nominated official.
In the event of bad weather, please refer to our North Star Facebook page or call the club mobile to find out if the competition has been canceled.
