Registration

All athlete registrations include a capitation fee to Athletics NT.  Athletics NT have increased this fee across all registration types for 2021 due to rising insurance costs and hence all the registration fees for DAC have been increased accordingly.  This is the first major increase in the capitation fee for several years. 

Registration covers the NT Athletics fees (including track fees), coaching, insurance, hire of venue (including lights and shed hire), equipment, trophies and medals, and Club Presentation event held at the end of the season. Uniforms are extra coast and will be available from the track on training nights. 

All members of DAC are automatically members of Athletics NT and Athletics Australia. They will also send emails to members, but you can unsubscribe from these at any time.

Registration is valid for the period 1st January 2021 to 31st December 2021. Your age category is the age you will be on the 31st December 2021. Please read below for further registration details.
