The National Athletics League (NAL) is the premier track and field competition for senior club athletes (U20 & above) in the UK (U17s may be entered where performance is exceptional). It provides a high-level competitive environment where clubs from across the country compete in a team-based format. The league features a full range of track, field, and relay events, making it an excellent opportunity for athletes to test themselves at a national level.

City of Portsmouth AC competes in the NAL, with both male and female athletes contributing points towards the club’s overall standing in each fixture. Every performance matters, and team spirit is key!
