We are aware, especially in Winter 2024, athletes will be registered with two athletics club. For the purpose of relays, athletes can compete for either club. The choice remains with the athlete. It is important to note that the nucleus of the partnership is putting the athlete first, and building pathways and products that support athletes.

It is important to note that throughout a single competition (such as the XC relays) athletes cannot compete for more than one club. However, when they are registered with more than one club, they may compete for a different club at each of the Winter Series Competitions.

  1. Login to your club's RevSport portal.
  2. Find the athletes name by selecting 'members' menu, found on the left of the page.
  3. Use the search function to find the athlete's profile.
  4. Select the athlete's name.
  5. The membership ID is the first piece of information.

Firstly, have you checked your archived members to see if they are non-financial?

This can be done via advanced search.
