OUR TEAMS
‘Saints’ competes primarily in the Athletics South Australia Interclub competition, known as the Premiership Cup, conducted from late October to mid March each season. Competition is held on Saturday afternoons at Athletics SA Stadium, Mile End, S Aust., or occasional twilight meets on Saturdays.
Our Club offers a ‘natural’ progression from school sports and/or Little Athletics, to something more, especially to those leaving the school system. The competition operates to an interclub format for both men and women for all age groups. Athletes are able to compete at their standard of capability and thus enjoy competing at their level, whilst gaining points for the Club and thus contribute towards Premierships. Athletes, male and female, may participate in Under 14, Under16, Under 18, Under 20/Open and Over 35 age group competitions as well as State Championships.
Competition is seeded which means that athletes can participate according to their standard and compete with other athletes of approximately similar standard, all of which is determined based on the first performances recorded at the interclub competition and updated with each performance. If participating for the first time, athletes will need to indicate an estimate of their performance.
