The club will hold competition nights starting October 14 at 5.30pm every Friday night during the season, and Tamworth Athletics Club coaching and development officer Jay Stone said the focus was on development with athletics aiding improvement in all sports.
"I think at the crux of it, the sport of athletics, and the Tamworth Athletics Club is all about development. Helping people become better versions of themselves," he said.
"For athletes who have been competing at their school carnivals, by participating over the summer season, they will end up a lot more confident and experienced by the time their school carnivals come around next year."
"You have to remember that athletics is the foundation for all sports. If people come along and improve their speed, fitness and technique, that will give them an advantage when they play their other sports as well."
