Getting Started with Athletic.net

New to Athletics? Here’s How to Get Set Up

Athletic.net is the entry system we are using for all athletics events this year.

If you are new to Athletics or Athletic.net, the following guide will take you through the process of setting up your account and registering your child for events.

It may seem like a lot of steps initially, but once your account and athlete profiles are set up, entering future events will be much easier.

Step 1. Create Your Free Athletic.net Account

If your child is under 13 years of age, you will need to set up a free parent account.

For help creating your account, see the Athletic.net help guide:

Step 2. Join Your Child’s Athletics Club

Once you have created your account, select Join Team.

You will be asked for a club code. Use the Fiordland Athletics Club code - FiordlandQX242C5UQ

When asked what your role is in the team, select Parent.

Step 3. Add Your Child as an Athlete

Once you have joined your child's club:

  1. Go to your profile.

  2. Select Add Athlete on the left-hand side.

  3. Search for your child's name.

  4. When asked if they are a USATF athlete, select Non-USATF.

  5. Enter your child's name, date of birth and any other requested information.

  6. Search for their profile.

  7. Click on the correct athlete name.

Your child should now be linked to your profile.

If you have more than one child, you will need to repeat this process for each child.

Step 4. Enter Your Child in a Meet

Once your child is linked to your account, you should see their name on the left-hand side under My Athletes.

You will also see the upcoming meet calendar.

To enter your child:

  1. Click on the meet you wish to enter your child in.

  2. Select the meet.

  3. Click Register Athlete.

  4. Select your child.

  5. Choose the events you want them to compete in.

Which Calendar Should I Use?

The calendar changes during the season:

  • Meets held up to 1 November 2026: These will appear on the 2026 Outdoor Calendar.

  • Events after 1 November 2026: You will need to select the 2027 Outdoor Calendar to view these meets.

Waverley Shield Meets

Waverley Shield meets are the junior/children's athletics meets.

Dates: Sunday 11 October, Sunday 8 November, Sunday 29 November, Sunday 13 December, Sunday 31 January (2027), Sunday 7 February (2027)
Age: Juniors aged 4–15 years
Entries close: 6.00pm Friday before the meet

When entering your child, we encourage them to have a go at everything:

  • Run

  • Jump

  • Throw

Track and Field is all about developing a broad range of skills, so why not let them try a bit of everything?

If they decide on the day that they don't want to do an event, that's absolutely fine. It is much easier for officials to record a Did Not Start (DNS) than trying to organise a late entry.
