History
The club was founded in 1921 as a section of Skellefteå AIK. Since 1987, Skellefteå AIK Athletics has been an independent club.

The club's statutes state that sport should develop individuals positively in physical, mental, and social terms. This is reflected in the club's clear statement that its activities shall be based on core values such as community and equality, and that activities for children and young people, elite sports, and activities for exercise and wellness shall be conducted in a safe and secure manner, and that bullying, harassment, and abuse shall be actively counteracted. The club distances itself from all forms of doping and regularly carries out “vaccinations” against doping.

Vision

Our overall vision is that athletics should give everyone the opportunity for safe and positive leisure time, community, challenges, and that training and competition should be carried out with enthusiasm and joy.

Our sporting vision is to be one of the 20 most successful athletics clubs in Sweden

Business concept
We will conduct equal and safe activities for children, young people, elite athletes, and recreational athletes. We want to offer meaningful activities to everyone in the athletics family. The association shall be free from doping and drugs. We comply with the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which became Swedish law in 2020. Read more here. From 2019, we will obtain criminal record extracts for all leaders and coaches who work with children and young people.

Skellefteå AIK Athletics opposes all forms of bullying, harassment, abuse, and sexual harassment. We use the Athletics Association's brochure Safe Athletics Environments as a guideline in our work. If you would like to read the brochure, you can do so here. We also have our own action plan against bullying, which you can read HERE.

The club shall have a balanced economy and its activities shall be conducted on the basis of sustainability, mainly through voluntary efforts.

The club has approximately 750 active members, the majority of whom are girls and women.
