Little athletics is all about family fun and fitness and making sure you can be your best. Centres and Clubs will be able to help you improve and learn about athletics so you can get the most out of your involvement. Learning is fun and in no time you will see your personal best performances (PB’s) improve. Families participate together with a strong reliance on parent volunteers to assist in a wide range of roles, with help given along the way.
Little athletes offer a range of running, jumping and throwing events which you will practice at club training and compete in weekly centre-level meets.
Children and parents will find no shortage of friendships at Little Athletics – we aim to encourage a family friendly, positive environment.

In Malaysia, Tori achieved gold medals in the 200m sprint and as part of the 4x400m Relay, and a silver medal in the 200m hurdles.

2019 Winter Competition
Athletes aged U7 – U17 (cross country), U9-U17 (road walk) can compete in these events.
Nominations for 2019 Winter Cross Country & Roadwalking have just opened. Athletes who were registered for 2018/19 summer season are free to compete in the winter season.
Existing members just need to log into their ResultsHQ profile to nominate for the winter season.

More on Timing chips (RFIDs)
Each athlete must have a RFID chip to be worn on their shoe or ankle during their race. This is to streamline timing and finish line procedures. Chips can easily be attached to the athlete’s shoe lace or alternatively on a piece of elastic or a strap around the ankle. Each chip has a unique number which is recorded against the athlete’s name and is not transferable. Only chips issued by LAWA for the Winter competition can be used. LAWA staff / officials will not be able to replace lost chips on the day of competition. The Southern Districts Winter Officer can allocate a replacement chip however this has to be done on the Thursday evening before the week they wish to compete.
New and replacement timing chips/age tags/SD shirts will be available to pick up from Graham (Winter Officer) on the 29th April at Shelley or 2 May at Piney Lakes. Piney Lakes Reserve Winthrop (Carpark off Murdoch Drive) – 5-6 pm only.
