Established in 1962, the Townsville North Star Athletics Club (TNSAC) is Townsville’s premier track and field club. The association is coordinated by a number of generous volunteers who donate their time to ensure the club continues to benefit the wider Townsville community.
TNSAC provides an affordable, community based active outlet and caters for individuals of all capabilities and ages from five years onwards. TNSAC accepts ‘Get Started Vouchers’ and the club is affiliated with Athletics North Queensland, which affords members the eligibility to compete at any Athletics Australia sanctioned events nationwide.
Athletics offers a great opportunity for all children to learn the basic motor skills, to keep fit and to socialise with others. TNSAC has a number of accredited coaches associated with the club who specialise in mentoring a variety of age groups, track and field events and para-athletes (athletes with a disability). For those who wish to progress further in the sport, the pathways are also there. No other sport offers such a wide a range of events to all ages and to all levels of competitors. Over the years TNSAC has produced a large quantity of noteworthy athletes that have competed and medalled at state, national and international competitions.
Whether you’re looking to make new friends, enjoy an active lifestyle or compete at the next Olympic Games, Townsville North Star Athletics Club will have an event to suit you or your child. New members and enquiries are always welcome.
