CAAC trains across several venues in west Edinburgh throughout the year, with variations by training group and the summer and winter seasons.
Please check with your squad WhatsApp group for occasional changes due to weather or facility availability, and for announcements of when you will transition between the Winter and Summer training arrangements. Athletes should arrive ready to train a few minutes before the session start time.
👉 If you’re new to the club please get in touch before attending our training sessions.
