To Join 365 Academy

We are always delighted to welcome new junior athletes to our 365 Academy. 365 coaching sessions run in line with school terms and break for school holidays. We do have a waiting list at the moment but we do hope to offer some new places in the 365 Academy as they become available each school term. For further information on our 365 Academy please click here and complete the waiting list application form.

Join Team Bath AC

Team Bath AC is a club for everyone, regardless of ability. Whether you are an experienced athlete looking to compete in an array of events, or a beginner who is interested in enjoying running and getting fit, Team Bath AC is the best place for you to achieve these goals. We would be delighted to welcome you!

We offer new members a free of charge taster session so you can come along and experience the training session before you commit to joining.  Unfortunately, it is not possible just to turn up and train on the night as we need to ensure that you are allocated to the most suitable training group. So if you are interested in Track & Field Activities or Road & Cross-Country Endurance Running please email Lucie at admin@teambathac.org to arrange a free trial session.
