Structure and Governance

England Logo

England Athletics is responsible for the governance of athletics in England.

 

Many of the services are now the remit of the nine Regions of England, acting with autonomy and thereby bringing these services closer to the clubs and their athletes. You will find more information relating to these Regions, in the Regions Section of this website.

 

The central functions and services provided by England Athletics are maintained by a small team of staff. These services and responsibilities include international track and field teams, maintenance and distribution of kit for all England internationals including those managed by the Special Associations, Commonwealth Games and related matters, Age Group Championships and Combined Events Championships both indoors and outdoors and financial and accounting services.

 

A key strength of the organisation is the bringing together of Regional Executive teams with the elected volunteer councils to increase capacity and improve performance at the grass-roots of Athletics. The elected regional chairs from each elected council come together to form the England Athletics Council, a body which evaluates the needs and requirements of the sport in formulating proposals for consideration and action by the Board of England Athletics Ltd.
