Athletics SA operates under a club structure system. There are currently over 17 affiliated clubs and a number of specialist groups and organisations that provide services to their members, including the provision of training venues, coaching services, and social functions. Athletes compete for their respective clubs in competitions and events organised by Athletics SA. The structure of competition allows for the participation of people of all abilities and interests. This creates a welcoming environment for participation where anyone that has an interest in participating in athletics can be a part of the action.

SUMMER SERIES
Athletics SA provides opportunities for people to come out and have a go at the sport through Summer Series events. These events do not follow the traditional format of interclub and allow for team/ squad relays. This is a more relaxed competition day, with no premiership points. Athletics SA members are also welcome to come out and compete in a fun and casual environment.
Timetables for Summer Series events are flexible and change between each meet depending on interest and demand. These events run between the months of October and December.
All track events and some field events are seeded, so you compete against athletes of similar personal bests
