Instructions to join the Juvenile waiting list:Due to the high demand in certain age categories, sometimes Clane AC have to operate a waiting list for new juvenile members in certain age groups - most commonly in the U9s, U10s & U11s age groups.
Our team of coaches are constantly reviewing the age groups and coach allocation to see if we have more space available. More coaches means more available spaces, so if you have a child on the waiting list, consider assisting us with juvenile training! IMPORTANT! You won't know if there is a waiting list in place until you actually go to register your child via the Athletics Ireland portal: https://membership.athleticsireland.ie/ Our club registrar oversees the incoming online registrations and places a registration block on certain age groups once the maximum registration quota for that age group has been met. What if there is no waiting list for your childs age group? Great!!! You will be able to continue all the way through the online registration process immediately and your child can start training with the club at the next training session for your childs age group. What if there is a waiting list for my childs age group? Please read the instructions below to get your childs name on the list. INSTRUCTIONS FOR JOINING THE WAITING LIST: Although you will be registering through the Athletics Ireland registration portal initially, please be reassured, if there is no place available for your child, you won't be able to continue with the registration, and there will be no payment required at this step. This is only phase one of the process to register your interest. Your registration will need approval by our club registrar. Once this initial part of your registration is submitted and logged on the Athletics Ireland online system, our club registrar will be able to go into clubs Athletics Ireland account to review all the "pending" online applications so they can check for availability with our coaches. During this waiting period, your online registration will be "on hold" and you won't be able to proceed with your online Athletics Ireland registration for this child until a space becomes available in the group. This might only take a few days or a few weeks, but please be aware that it can take much, much longer especially if these popular age groups are full to capacity and nobody leaves... or if we lose one of our volunteer Juvenile coaches to other life commitments. Your child will be manually placed on our club registrars juvenile waiting list and this list will be reviewed whenever juvenile members leave or new Juvenile coaches come on board. (This is a hand written list - you will not be sent an email) If/when there is a place available, our registrar will have to "approve" your pending online Athletics Ireland application and only then will you be able to proceed to the next step to register your child with the club. Once "approved" by our registrar, you will receive an autogenerated email directly from Athletics Ireland alerting you that you can continue with your registration, and you will be able to move onto the next step to formally register your child/children with the club. Payment will be required at this next step Once fully registered with Athletics Ireland, your child can start training with the club at the next training session for your childs age group. I have read and understood the above instructions and I am now ready to register via the Athletics Ireland online portal: https://membership.athleticsireland.ie/
Athletics Ireland club affiliation:For Athletics Ireland/Clane AC registered members
- both Adult & Juvenile: Being an official member of an Athletics Ireland affiliated club such as Clane Athletic club means you are automatically bound to that specific athletics club as an Athletics Ireland member for a period of 3 years. In other words, if you register with Clane AC, Athletics Ireland will allocate Clane AC as your designated athletics club for a period of three years, even if you don't actually renew your membership after the 1st or 2nd year after joining. This rule applies to any Athletics Ireland club you register with in Ireland. You are tied to your chosen club for a period of 3 years. This rule was put in place by Athletics Ireland to impede larger, competitive clubs from easily poaching high performance athletes from other clubs. It obstructs the practice of "cherry picking" athletes, either juvenile or adult, to enhance the success of their own club. If you wish to change to another Athletics Ireland affiliated club within 3 years of joining Clane AC, you will need to apply for a club transfer which must be approved at county board level. For this reason we do not recommend complete beginner runners / Couch to 5km participants join via the Athletics Ireland registration link in case they decide they would not like to continue with the club or running, or because they may want do a different running programme elsewhere with another Athletics Ireland local club within three years. It eliminates the requirement for having to do formal club transfers. These club transfer applications are only processed twice yearly by Athletics Ireland. This can be frustrating for people who want to do a different programme with another club, but can't, as they have to wait until their transfer is processed. Club Transfer guidelines
