With a focus on collaboration, the Jersey Athletics Committee works closely with affiliated clubs, coaches, volunteers, and local organisations to build a vibrant future for athletics on the island. Their mission is to ensure that every athlete — regardless of age or ability — has the opportunity to participate, progress, and achieve their potential.

The committee is dedicated to guiding and growing the sport of athletics across Jersey, with a strong commitment to inclusivity, community engagement, and athletic excellence. It plays a key role in implementing policies, organising events, and supporting clubs and athletes at every level.

Made up of passionate members with expertise in athletics, sports management, and community development, the committee works to create a well-structured and thriving athletics environment. This includes supporting youth development programmes, encouraging participation across all age groups, and establishing performance pathways to help athletes reach the highest levels of competition.
