Children are offered a weekly competition throughout summer, and general coaching sessions are held on Monday and Wednesday nights with access to specialised coaching. Weekly competition is conducted at Eschol Park Sporting Fields on Friday nights from September to March.

There is a full Championships programme for the more gifted athletes who can compete at the South West Metro Zone Championships, leading to the Regional No-7 Championships and then onto the State Championships. There are also Gala days and other competitions which the athletes can enter.

About Little Athletics

 

Little Athletics is a uniquely Australian sport for children aged 3-20 years. 

As the name suggests, it is based upon the sport of athletics (track and field) and the events are specially modified to suit the ages and abilities of children. A wide range of running, jumping, throwing and walking events is conducted.

Little A’s, as it is affectionately referred to by those who enjoy it, is not really about winning, but about having fun, making friends and getting families involved in healthy activities. The emphasis is placed on participation and personal improvement. It is little surprise then, that the motto of Little Athletics is: “Family, Fun and Fitness”.

Little Athletics recognises that children vary widely in shape, size and athletic ability, and is thus one of few sports that successfully caters for them all.

Each year across NSW, approximately 40,000 boys and girls enjoy the activities that Little Athletics has to offer.

In 2024, Athletics NSW and Little Athletics NSW combined in partnership to deliver a more streamlined environment for our athletes. For more information, please click here
