Athletics Victoria | Decathlon in Melbourne

Athletics Victoria is a sports club located in Melbourne, Australia. With a history dating back to 1961, Athletics Victoria has become a renowned and respected organisation in the world of athletics. The club is committed to fostering a vibrant and inclusive community where athletes of all ages and abilities can come together to train, compete, and have fun.

One of the highlights of Athletics Victoria is its vibrant network of clubs. Whether you are based in a metropolitan or country region, there is a club for everyone. These clubs provide a supportive and engaging environment for athletes to improve their fitness, compete in events, and experience the energy and excitement of the Athletics Victoria community. In addition to traditional athletics clubs, Athletics Victoria also offers Recreational Running Groups, which are based all around Victoria.

These groups are perfect for those looking to engage in recreational running and have accredited Recreational Running Coaches to help participants achieve their running goals.

Athletics Victoria organises events throughout the year, with competitions taking place in both summer and winter seasons. Winter includes the cross country competition (XCR), a fantastic way for club members to meet and connect with others in the community. XCR offers multiple divisions and is known for its friendly and fun atmosphere. On the other hand, summer comprises various track and field competition levels, including the interclub track and field competition (AVSL).

AVSL allows athletes to score points for their club while participating in a range of track and field events. It is another great opportunity to get involved in the athletics community and make lasting connexions.

In addition to the club activities, Athletics Victoria also offers coaching courses for those interested in becoming coaches. These courses provide the necessary knowledge and skills to train and mentor athletes effectively. Athletics Victoria is committed to promoting the development of coaches and ensuring high-quality coaching throughout its network.

Athletics Victoria is not only dedicated to the pursuit of sporting excellence but also to acknowledging and paying respect to the traditional custodians of the lands on which they operate. The club recognises the cultural and spiritual connexions that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities have to the land and is committed to a positive future for these communities.
