Interested?
Thinking about trying athletics or signing up for a trial period? Follow these steps:
- Fill out the registration form under the “Lid Worden” button completely. Choose the right “Wedstrijdatleet” (Competition Athlete) option based on the categories mentioned above. This will provisionally register you (or your child) with GVAC. Children can be registered from the age of 6.
- We will contact you as soon as possible to let you know when the trial period can begin. For the youngest age groups, there may be a waiting list, so it could take some time before your child can start the trial.
- After the trial period, if you or your child would like to become a full member, we will convert the provisional membership into a permanent one. You will only start paying membership fees from that moment.
