For Community, Single Discipline and Closed Clubs, the costs are

·       <149 members - £165

·       >300 - £320

For Commercial Clubs, the cost of affiliation is £375 regardless of the number of members you have.

No, prices have stayed the same as last year. 

Club Affiliation fees are an annual fee so monthly instalments are not possible. 

Once your club affiliation has been approved you will receive an email confirming this and you will then be able to make payment. Please do not make payment before you receive this email.

You can make your club affiliation payment by one of the following options:

• Credit/Debit - card payment online by logging into their Club Management area on the British Triathlon website.
• BACS transfer (please use your club name and ID number as a reference for this)
  • Account Name: The British Triathlon Federation
  • Sort code: 40-30-24
  • Account number: 42263572
• Cheque - please make payable to British Triathlon, include your club name and ID on the reverse of the cheque and post to PO Box 25, Loughborough, LE11 3WX

Direct Debit payments will not be accepted.

You should declare your club members that participate in triathlon or multisport activities within your club. This number will determine which pricing category you fall into under the Single Discipline type club.

The affiliation form should take only a few minutes to complete, provided that you have got all of the information together before you start.

After you submit, we will review the form within a few working days. If everything is in place, we will be able to approve the form and enable you to make payment and complete the process. If we need additional information from you, this will depend upon how quickly we can get everything resolved with you.

There is no problem with a Community Club having a sponsor(s) so long as:

• The sponsors name is not in the title of the club
• That all funding from the sponsorship deal goes back into the club to benefit its members.
• That the club has all the other traits outlined in the description of a community club.

If the sponsors title is in the club’s name it will be deemed as a race team and therefore a commercial club.

All coaches and activators/leaders within your club must have an appropriate and up-to-date safeguarding qualification.

Anyone coaching juniors (U18) must attend the UK Coaching Safeguarding and Protecting Children workshop.

Those working exclusively with adults can either attend the same workshop or choose to attend the Adults at Risk training.

In either case, training must have been attended within the past three years and certificates must have been uploaded to the coach/activator/leader's membership profile on the British Triathlon website.

We now have an online process in place for DBS checks. Full information on the system and how to start this process can be found here - https://www.britishtriathlon.org/about-us/safeguarding/dbs

If you have any queries relating directly to DBS checks or certificates, please contact dbs@britishtriathlon.org
