Kiwi Support Hub: Where To Start
At various athletic events throughout New Zealand, AthleticNET has been used with great success to provide live results through AthleticLIVE.
However, AthleticNET has many more features that can enhance your athletics experience. The following information has been compiled to assist athletes, coaches, officials, administrators and supporters to understand and use more features that AthleticNET has to offer.
You can see instructional videos at this Link.
GETTING STARTED
Various Centres in New Zealand have uploaded results into AthleticNET, therefore your name may already be in the system (Over 25,000 have been added). Your first task is to Claim Your Personal Profile to create your account and link to your Club, Centre, School. etc.
If you can't find your Personal Profile, you can Create an Account and Link yourself to a Club or a School etc via your Team Code
Duplicate Profiles If you found yourself listed several times (i.e. for a club, a centre or a school etc), you can merge your profiles into one, so that all results recorded against your name for that club, centre or school, etc will be linked to you.
Team Administrator. To manage your Club, School or Centre, then you need to become the Administrator. If there are no administrators to begin with, then complete the details in the link and an AthleticNET administrator will activate it for you. Once your Club, School or Centre etc has an administrator and someone else wants to be one, then the existing Administrators can approve your application. The existing Administrators will recieve an email and they can approve or decline your application. We advise that you let the existing Administrator(s) know that you have applied.
MANAGE YOUR CLUB, CENTRE, SCHOOL ETC MEMBERSHIP
AthleticNET has a Membership / Team management system available for all teams to use for free.
To manage your club, centre, school etc membership you need to have a Team Administrator. Not everyone can become a Team Administrator due to the sensitivity of information held in the AthleticNET Membership / Team management system.
Members can manage their own data if they have Claimed Their Personal Profile and for kids 12 and under parents must mange this data by Adding a Managed Athlete to Your Account. This makes it easy if the athlete or parent is in charge of their information and we can place the onus back on them to ensure everything is correct. If the athlete belongs to many teams, once they change data in their personal profile, it is amended for all the teams they are members of.
Alternatively as a Club, Centre, School, etc you can manage your members in a number of ways as follows:
- Adding, Deactivating, Reactivating, and Moving Athletes
- Uploading a Roster (Add many athletes using a spreadsheet and save time)
- Editing Athlete Info
- Merging Duplicate Athletes
Clubs, Centres and Schools etc can easily communicate with their members via the inbuilt email system. To find out more click Here.
ATHLETE PROFILES / SOCIAL MEDIA
AthleticNET is also a social media platform and with this brings challenges around the protection of athlete information. Athletes have the right to allow their information to be seen by:

- or keep it private
