The U6 to U8 Teams Challenge is a new event targeted at our youngest age cohorts.

Participants are placed into teams of 5 of boys and girls and participate in seven (7) events which incorporate the fundamentals movements of athletics in running, jumping and throwing. Events include Standing Long Jump, Throw for Target and Slalom relays.

The teams accumulate points together and ribbons are awarded for first, second and third in each age group. Combined centre teams are also highly encouraged if centres to do not have enough entries to create a team. 

This event is one of the highlights of the Little Athletics calendar and is often referred to as the “Fun Carnival.”
