The league is split into three tiers. In the top division (Division 1), 16 clubs meet each other once in a round-robin system at 5 different fixtures throughout the summer. In Division 1 there are 4 teams (men and women) competing in each match. The lower divisions are regionally spilt with the top and bottom teams gaining  promotion and relegation.

All clubs need to provide Timekeepers, Track Judges and Field Officials for every match. Each official scores two points per match. If you are interested in becoming an official or a volunteer for the team please get in contact.
