About us

Slyne Head AC is an all inclusive athletics club that is based in Ballyconneely, Co. Galway. We launched on Friday the 12th of September. Membership is open to all aged 5+. We run training for young athletes, as well as Fit4Life and sessions for adults. These are still open to new members and are suitable for all levels of fitness. See below for more details.

We are volunteer run so always looking for new people to help out. If you have any expertise - or if you don't - we would love you to get involved.
