It is important that these are placed in the correct location. Uniforms can be purchased through the centre at the start of each season.

Appropriate sports footwear is compulsory for all athletes in all events. No athlete may wear football boots or cleats in any event.

Spikes are not compulsory, but if you choose to wear them, the following rules apply. Athletes in the U9 – U10 age group may not wear spike shoes. Athletes in the U11 – U12 age group may wear spike shoes in events run entirely in lanes, long jump, triple jump, high jump and javelin. Athletes in the U13 – U15 age groups may wear spike shoes in all track events except walks.

We are a non-profit organisation that raises funds through our registration fee and operates through the support of our local community. We are run solely by a team of volunteers who put their heart and soul into making the club a success.

The successful operation of our club relies solely on parents volunteering to assist.  All parents are required to volunteer in some capacity every season. There are a variety of activities that you can nominate to do.  Little Athletics is a family movement in which the mums, dads, grandparents, and friends of children can do something together. The children compete and parents get involved by assisting on the night.  Our club is what we make it and we are all committed to making it good fun.

The following roles need to be filled by our parent volunteers each week, so get active and get involved.  You can participate by helping us to set up, becoming an Age Manager, or helping out on canteen or BBQ duty from time to time. If you have a bit more time you could take up a role on the management committee or assist with coaching if you have relevant experience.

All athletes in U12 -U17 age groups are entitled to dual membership with Athletics NSW (ANSW).  This provides older athletes with a pathway to join an ANSW club and compete in ANSW events. Previously, Little Athletics’ dual-aged athletes were asked to select a senior club when registering. The athlete’s data was imported into the separate Athletics NSW membership platform and each athlete automatically allocated to an ANSW club as a member.

This season, to simplify the process for Dual-aged Athletes, ANSW will require Dual athletes to individually activate or renew their free ANSW Dual membership via the ANSW membership platform. ANSW will advise Dual athletes regarding this process along with the ANSW Membership Go Live date which will be in September this year.

You can apply an Active Kids Program Voucher to your little athletics registration.

Children are organised into age-based gendered groups that are determined by date of birth.

Link to registration ages information.

Activities are coordinated by an Age Manager (a volunteer parent) and follow an age-appropriate rotating program of track and field events that include a mix of the following activities:

• Running including sprinting, middle distance and hurdles
• Throwing including shot-put, discuss
• Jumping including long jump, high jump, and triple jump

Each week there is a rotation of 3-4 activities per age group so that children have the opportunity to learn the basic level of athletic skill required for each activity and have the opportunity to participate in a variety of them several times over the season.

Weekly Program info… 

The weekly competition is usually finished by around 7.30 pm.  However, it depends a little on the type of events, the number of children in each age group, the number of volunteers we have, and even the weather conditions on any given competition night. Older children compete in longer distance events and these take longer to complete.  Every effort is made to make our competition nights run as smoothly as possible, and the more support we get, the better it works for everyone.

Updates regarding weather conditions etc on competition nights are shared via our website home page and on social media as soon as it becomes available.
