Welsh Schools Athletics Association

Registered as a charity (510848) in 1980, the WSAA has been working since 1949 to support young people to develop themselves through taking part in athletics.

Your generosity will help us unlock the mental and physical potential of young people, building their confidence and hooking them into a life-long love of the fun of athletics and the health and wellbeing benefits of physical activity.   

We provide competition opportunities for young people across the athletics disciplines and support school staff with training and coaching courses.

You can find out more about the work of the charity and the opportunities we fund through this website link from our delivery partner, Welsh Athletics.

Leave a Legacy of Movement

Your story doesn’t end with you — it carries on in every child who finds their stride, every athlete who dares to dream, and every community brought together by sport.

By leaving a gift to the WSAA, you’ll ensure that future generations have the chance to run, jump, and grow — no matter where they start from.

For more information or an informal discussion about how you can support athletics in Wales, please get in touch via email to office@welshathletics.org or via telephone to James, Chief Executive on 07802 180 319

It’s more than a donation. It’s a legacy of opportunity, pride, and belonging.

Investing In Futures

Behind every school competition and coaching session is a chance to spark lifelong impact. We are working to ensure that children from every community can experience the thrill of sport — and discover who they can become. With your support, we’ll expand access, upgrade facilities, and equip the next generation to thrive, on and off the track.

Sporting pride is a seed — your support helps it grow

Playground to Podium

Before the medals and headlines, every Welsh athlete was once a child testing their limits on a school field. With your support, we’re creating moments that matter — first races, proud finishes, and the belief that greatness is possible. From local fixtures to international podiums, your donation backs a journey fuelled by passion and possibility.

Every champion starts somewhere — help us build the pathway
