Our coaching provides an oportunity for athletes of all ages, from beginners to internationals and everybody inbetween. All our coaches and assistant coaches are UK Athletics / England Athletics licenced, and share our vision of low cost quality coaching for the broadest range of society.
As a volunteer-led community organisation we're committed to breaking down the barriers that prevent young people getting involved in athletics by providing high quality coaching at an affordable price. To deliver this we are working to a three stage pledge:

If after the free taster sessions the athlete would like to join the club and continue training, there are two cost elements: Annual Subs and Club Coaching Fees.
This covers the costs of the club (League fees, Athletics equipment purchase and maintenance, etc.). A fee to England Athletics (currently £20 per year) is also included in the subscription.
This covers track fees (the track is owned by Kingston Council and operated by a private company) and coaching costs, though most coaches are volunteers who do it for the love of the sport!
| Athlete Group | Club Subs | England Athletics Fee | Club Coaching Fees (Monthly) | Annual Total (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Junior Athletes (up to School year 5) | Free | Not applicable | £20 per Month | £240 |
| Standard Subs (School year 6 up to Master athletes) | £60 | £20 | £20 per Month | £320 |
Coaching Fees are paid **monthly** via a bank standing order. If the athlete does not wish to continue with the coaching, or is injured for a number of weeks, the payment can be paused or stopped at any time.
We offer a discounted rate for anyone meeting the eligibility criteria of the Active Kingston scheme. Please get in touch if this applies to you.
