On club nights athletes generally participate in two track and two field events. We use a four-week rotation roster meaning athletes do all their available events at least once every four weeks. Track events are the running races. Field events mean Shot Put, Discus, Long Jump, etc. Club nights generally finish by 6:30pm but can be later. There is no exact finish time. We cannot predict how long each event will take. Some athletes leave earlier if they have had enough (especially if they have Tiny Tots with them) or if they have other commitments, that is completely fine. Some families stay till the very end to get some extra practice and coaching in and then help pack up. 

Little Athletics Centres and club nights are run entirely by volunteers and cannot exist without the active involvement of all the parents and carers. We thank you for your ongoing support.

For Children aged between 3-5 years our centre offers a modified program called Tiny Tots. The Tiny Tots program delivers skills-based games focused on the fundamental skills of running, jumping and throwing through age-appropriate activities. (No real javelins or shot puts.)

Tiny Tots requires a lot of active parent participation and is a great chance to do something fun with your child. It’s intended to be play based and relatively unstructured. Games include activities such as running and jumping over rope ladders, mini hurdles, hoops, balance beams, throwing and catching bean bags or playing with the big parachute. Tiny Tots also do the 50m and 70m sprint and long jump. Athletes don’t start discus or shot put until U6s, Hurdles in U8s, High Jump in U9s, Triple Jump and Javelin in U11.
