Gladstone Athletics Club

Welcome to Gladstone Athletics Club, an iconic sports club located in Gladstone, Australia. Founded in 1956 and incorporated in 1980, we have a rich history and a strong presence in the Central Coast Region as one of the largest little athletics clubs. Our club is affiliated with Little Athletics Queensland and Queensland Athletics, allowing us to provide a competitively modified athletic programme for children aged 4 and above, including individuals with disabilities or impairments.

Our home ground serves as the venue for various athletic events, including School Athletic Carnivals, Port Curtis Interschool Carnivals, and our annual Combined Events Carnival, which is open to all Queensland athletic clubs. This vibrant and inclusive club has continuously grown over the past 5–10 years, attracting a steady membership base.

The Gladstone Athletics Club has a dedicated and passionate team of individuals who lead and support the club. The current committee, elected annually at our Annual General Meeting, includes Shane Gibson as President, Daniel Walton as Vice President, Maree McKneil as Treasurer, Melanie Bayntun as the Communications Manager, and various other committee members who perform vital roles.

To become a member of our club, individuals can register for the upcoming season. The fees for the 2023/2024 season are $100 for Tiny Tots (5 years old and above) and $170 for U6 to U17 athletes, with an additional $50 family levy (refundable upon meeting volunteering requirements). Returning families who have fulfilled the volunteering requirements are eligible for a discounted family levy fee. Adult athletes born in 2005 or earlier can join as Platinum members for $232, including a club fee of $70.

Child athletes aged 12 and above are also welcome to join Queensland Athletics for an additional $12 basic membership fee to participate in their events.

On your first day with us, please bring sun-safe clothing (polo shirt with a collar, shorts, and a hat), suncream, closed-in shoes, and a water bottle. Our training sessions for athletes U10 and above are held on Wednesdays from 3:45 pm to 5 pm, following the school term schedule. Local competitions take place on Saturday mornings from 8:15 am, except January, where we resume competitions a little earlier.
