Athletics club membership payments.
Juvenile, senior and family rates for a club that runs cross-country, road and track across the year. Many clubs renew in the autumn. Athletics Ireland registration is a spreadsheet you download.
The season
Cross-country is an autumn and winter season, road races run through the year, and track and field is a summer season. Many clubs still take one annual membership and renew in the autumn. Set the dates to that club year.
On subs.ie you set the season dates and a due date. Email reminders count from that due date. They go out on the days you choose, never more than one every three days, and they stop once the member has paid.
Juvenile, adult and family rates
Juvenile, senior, student and family rates are the usual split. A masters group is its own membership: name it and set a minimum age. You type every price.
The club names each membership and sets the price. A type can have a minimum age, a maximum age, or both, checked on a date you choose. A family membership is one price. You can limit how many adults and how many children it includes. An adult, for that count, is 18 or over on that date. On other memberships you can cap what a household pays, so a family is not charged more than the amount you choose.
Members can pay the full amount by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. A treasurer can record cash, a bank transfer or a cheque, and those payments have no online fee. A membership can be split into 2 to 10 monthly payments of at least €5. Members only see instalments once that option is switched on for the club. The detail is in Instalments for club fees.
Registration and insurance
Clubs register athletes with Athletics Ireland. Any registration or insurance amount the club passes on is a price you type in. subs.ie does not look up Athletics Ireland's fee and does not enter athletes in a race.

Questions
When do athletics clubs usually collect membership fees?
Many clubs collect once, in the autumn, for a year that covers cross-country, road and summer track. You can also price one of those seasons on its own.
Can adults and children be different prices?
Juvenile, senior, student and family rates are the usual split. A masters group can have a minimum age. Each membership has its own price and its own age rule, checked on a date you set. A family membership is one price. You can limit how many adults and children it includes, and you can cap what a household pays.
Does subs.ie register players with Athletics Ireland?
No. Registration with Athletics Ireland stays with the club. A governing body number can be stored on the member and is included in the registration spreadsheet. You download the file. subs.ie does not send it.
What does a athletics club pay for an online payment?
One fee on each online payment, including VAT and the card fees. The club decides whether it covers that fee or the member sees it as its own line. Cash, a bank transfer or a cheque recorded by the treasurer has no online fee. The pricing page shows the rate.
