MEMBERSHIP

Do you offer memberships for shorter periods of time, for example, a half-year membership?

We only offer memberships for the full calendar year at the price of 50 euros. We offer many activities, events, and member benefits throughout the year, so we believe this is great value even if you join in the middle of the year.

I don’t have a dutch bank card; are there other ways to pay my membership fee?

In our membership portal you can only pay with iDEAL. If you can’t pay through iDEAL, please reach out to membership@atac-club.nl and we’ll surely find a solution.

Can I try out a training session before signing up?

We’re not currently able to accommodate taster sessions for potential joiners. We’ve grown significantly as a club over the past years and are focusing on our members. We are still open to new members though!

Note that only paid members can RSVP for events on the meetup page. Once you are a paid member, you will have access to the meetup page.

When will my membership be renewed?

We will send you an email to remind you about the upcoming renewal and to check your information in November. If you do nothing, your membership is renewed automatically and we will deduct the membership fee via automatic incasso in January.

What do I need to do to cancel my membership?

You can cancel your membership by sending an email to membership@atac-club.nl before December 31.

Can I join your Meetup group without being a member of ATAC?

Only active members that paid the membership fee can join the Meetup group, RSVP for events, and create events on the Meetup page. Once you paid your membership fee, you can request access and we will approve your access to the group right away.

NTB / Triathlon RACING LICENSE

What are the advantages of having a NTB license?

The NTB license comprises of two parts, basic membership and athletics license. You need to have the first one in order to apply for the second (used in triathlon races)

This is particularly important if you are racing in the Netherlands or abroad where a day license is required. Day licenses cost around 25EUR a time, so if you plan to race more than once in a calendar year, it's wise to get an NTB license 

Furthermore an NTB license grants a free basic KNWU (National Roadbike Union) license (to participate in fun races, MTB and cyclo cross) but not as part of ATAC club. Further info can be found here: NTB Website.

The NTB License grants a free license to the Dutch Athletics Union as well. Meaning you won't have to start behind the business participants of the Dam-to-Dam run. Just sign up for the official race, quite a nice advantage! More information on this, click here.

See https://www.atac-club.nl/ntb-license for more information about how to sign-up, and other frequently asked questions.

KNWU Cycling license

Now you can also be a member of KNWU as member of ATAC Club:

ATAC is now a member of KNWU which means our members can participate in cycling events across a wide range of cycling activities from road to track to cyclo-cross etc.

Interested? head to https://www.knwu.nl/ (in Dutch only) and if you are interested in joining individual or group events under ATAC club, please register yourself as member and email you ID number to competition@atac-club.nl so that your ID is associated with ATAC club.

Being attached to a club in KNWU will cost members 7 Euro per calendar year which is charged to ATAC and will be recharged to members affiliated on a yearly basis.

You will also need a license to race, this range from "Startlicentie" for basic races to "Amateur" or "Sportklasse" to "Elite" etc where you can enter for example all national CX races. However for training races like the usual Crits at Sloten, an "Amateur" license would be enough. they come with different price range that athletes can apply for directly in KNWU portal.

As we explore the opportunity and get more familiarized with KNWU events, more details will be shared to all members via the usual channels.
