Bros Pearse Athletic Club. Founded in 1956.
We are affiliated to The Athletic Association of Ireland, with whom all our athletes and coaches are registered and insured.
We are based in Cherryfield (Doddervalley Park) on the Firhouse Road.
We train all year round. During the summer months, from March to October we train outdoors in Cherryfield. From End of October to end of March we train one night outdoors and one night indoors and some of our age groups train Saturday and Sunday mornings also.
We have athletes from many areas including Knocklyon, Templeogue, Rathfarnham, Firhouse and Terenure. Our membership numbers fluctuate from 150 to 200 during the year.
We cater for all ages from 8 years to adult and all levels of fitness and ability. We train for cross country running and all events on the track, sprints, hurdles, middle distance, high jump, long jump, polevault, shot putt, hammer, discus and javelin.
Our coaches are volunteers and all are qualified having done coaching courses with Athletics Ireland. All the coaches have been Garda vetted and attended a Basic child protection course. We adhere to the Code of Ethics as set out by the Athletic Association of Ireland.
We expect all our athletes to compete for the club during the year, failure to do so will result in restricted membership the following year as space is very confined in the hall during winter season.
If you are interested in joining us please call down any Tuesday or Thursday evening at 7pm. and ask any of our coaches for more details.
Juveniles up to 18 years of age, need to be signed in by a parent/guardian. You will be asked to fill out a consent form on the first night any pay €20 per child to cover registration and insurance. More details with regard to annual membership fees can be discussed at the club.
