Multi Events Programme
This programme is by invitation only. It is for experienced multi-eventers aged U18 and over (U18, U20 and Senior). It is not an open group, so there is no sign-up: choose Let's chat and the coaching team will talk it through with you, then offer an invitation, a trial, or suggest when you might be ready.
Following the success of our multi event athletes in 2026, we now offer coaching across all heptathlon and decathlon events, with specialist event coaches and a dedicated coach co-ordinator.

Low cost. Big impact.
Coaching fees
Coaching is an optional extra available to members, separate from your annual membership. Try up to 2 sessions free, then it is a flat £20 a month, paid by standing order. It covers track fees (the track is owned by Kingston Council and operated by a private company) and coaching costs, though most of our coaches are volunteers who give up their time for the love of the sport.
- Pay monthly, and pause or stop at any time, including for injuries or breaks
- All coaches are England Athletics qualified
- You don't have to be coached by us. We value athletes coached elsewhere
- A discounted rate for anyone who meets the Active Kingston scheme criteria. Ask us
Figures are approximate and may change. Most coaches are unpaid volunteers, so sessions can't run 52 weeks a year. You'll be told in advance via Spond.

Development pathway
Learn. Develop. Compete. Achieve.
Learn. Build fundamental movement skills and confidence.
Develop. Improve technique and broaden your event knowledge. You don't have to specialise straight away, and many athletes try several events first.
Compete. Apply your skills in training and competitions.
Achieve. Reach your goals and unlock your potential.
Groups are based on age, ability and development stage. Your coach will help you find your fit and tell you when you're ready to move up.
Looking to compete?
Tell us your age group and we'll show the leagues you can join and the fixtures you're eligible for.
