The club was formed in 2007 by established Devizes based coaches.
The club is an open athletics club we are fully inclusive and welcome athletes of all abilities. We are able to offer: sprint, hurdle, long distance, throws and jump training. We regularly have approx 20 athletes attending our weekly session but during the summer season we have many more as this is the time when many switch from their winter sports. The club is based at our local secondary school and has access to inside and outside facilities. Our club has direct links with TeamBath which has seen many of our athletes progressing to train and competing with them at various levels.
We are an open club aspiring to serve the wider community, we are the only athletics club in the town and offer the opportunitiy for children to take part in organised fun athletic sessions. The development of the club ensures that we can encourage young people to take-up sport, improve their talents, possibly play a leadership role and give them the option to initiate and maintain life-long participation in sport. The Athletics club is run by dedicated volunteers who give up their time to ensure the club functions for the good of the athletes and families.
We aim to train any, and particularly young athletes who wish to attend our sessions whether they wish to compete in their chosen events or not. We aim to create an environment where everyone involved in athletics feels safe and secure to enable them to achieve their potential – to run, jump and throw, to coach, officiate or to support those who do.
