There is no problem with a community club paying coaches what is considered the going commercial rate.  This is considered to be:

• Level 1 - £10 to £15/hour
• Level 2 - £15 to £25/hour
• Level 3 - £25 to £35/hour.

Clubs and coaches should remember that this should be on a casual basis and both parties should seek guidance on their position with regards to the relationship between employer/employee regarding HMRC.

You will need to provide the postcode of where your club is based. This should be the main headquarters of where your club meets or the most frequent location for club activities.

This information is displayed on our club finder as your club location, so please do not provide a personal address.

No, clubs that are not part of the United Kingdom cannot affiliate to British Triathlon as they will not be eligible for insurance under our policy.

If you are advertising or promoting a business through your club name you will be deemed as a Commercial Club.

If you are a university, college or school you will be deemed as a closed club.  Therefore, you will pay the same fees as a closed club depending on the number of declared members taking part in triathlon.  

Unfortunately, we are not able to take payment by Direct Debit.

Clubs can make payment in the following ways:

• Credit/Debit - card payment online by logging into their Club Management area on the British Triathlon website.
