All members will be offered the same opportunity to train with our dedicated coaching team.  Our event specific team of coaches includes Olympian Nigel Bevan, UK Athletics High Performance Coach Darryl Maynard, Director of Athletics and Commonwealth Games representative Scott Simpson, and former Director of Athletics Sean Power, among many others.

UWIC AC has an 'all standards welcome' attitude, offering members the opportunity to train with some of the top athletes in Britain, local club athletes, and beginners keen to take up the sport.  Athletes can make use of the facilities, and access the ‘athletics-only’ gym in NIAC on their own accord.  Our strength and conditioning coach will induct new gym users and provides workshops throughout the year. 

UWIC Athletics Club members have the luxury of free access to NIAC throughout the week!

With the vast majority of athletes meeting and training under the same roof, UWIC athletes create a very sociable and enjoyable atmosphere.  New students get a chance to have fun and meet other club members at our annual 'Ultimate Track and Field' competition, where teams compete in the Backwards 200m, Headlong Long Jump, and 60m Under Hurdles among others.  

The Freshers' Initiation always proves to be a great night for all involved. Drinking is never forced but, of course, forfeits go to the best/worst fancy dress. Other socials are hosted throughout the year and many athletes go on to make their best university friends through the club and their activities.
