Athletics is a summer sport, with the season running from October to March.

🟢 Registrations for the 2026/27 summer season are now open!

___________________________________________________________________

To train and/or compete as a Papanui Toc H athlete this summer, please follow the registration steps below.

✅ Step One: Mandatory – Become a PTOCH Club Member (All athletes, Junior & Senior)

• Club membership is required for all athletes taking part in training or competition and covers the period from August 2026 to March 2027.
• If you joined Papanui Toc H for the 2026 winter (Cross Country) season, you’re already covered — there’s no need to re-register.
• If you’re transferring from another athletics club, please email the Registrations Officer here, before registering.
• New to the club? We welcome new athletes to attend one free Tuesday Club Night so they can experience the programme before committing to the season.
• Parents and caregivers are part of our club too! Papanui Toc H is a community-run athletics club, not a drop-off programme. We ask parents and caregivers to stay and get involved in helping run events during Club Nights. No athletics experience is needed — there are plenty of simple ways to help, and we’ll show you what to do.

👉 Register as a Papanui Toc H Club Member

 

✅ Step Two: Optional – Register for CCAA Saturday Interclub (Ages 7–14)

• For athletes wanting to compete in the Canterbury Children's Athletics Association Saturday Track & Field Competition which runs from mid-October to early March at Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub.
• Athletes must first be registered as a Papanui Toc H club member (see Step One above).
• New to Saturday Interclub? Junior athletes are welcome to attend two free trial Interclub sessions before deciding whether to register.
• Parent/caregiver help is part of Saturday Interclub. Each club is responsible for helping run an event, and for the 2026/27 season Papanui Toc H is responsible for Long Jump. Families of registered Interclub athletes will be rostered to help during the season.

Parent and Caregiver Involvement

Our club is run entirely by volunteers, many of whom also have children participating. To keep things safe and enjoyable for everyone:

• Training Nights: All junior athletes must be actively supervised by a parent/caregiver — these are not drop-off sessions. We also rely on parents/caregivers to help out during the sessions.
• Interclub: Parents/caregivers of athletes competing will be rostered to help with club duties during the season.
