OVERVIEW

Little Athletics is a modified children’s athletics program for 5yo to 17yo athletes.

Victorian born and bred, Little Aths started in Geelong over 60 years ago and now boasts 100 Centres all over metropolitan Melbourne and country Victoria, and 100,000 athletes across Australia. Their motto is Family, Fun & Fitness.

Athletes participate and compete weekly with their friends during season, learning the many disciplines of athletics, including:

running (sprinting, hurdles, endurance running)
jumping (long jump, high jump, triple jump)
throwing (discuss, shot put, javelin)

Every season there are opportunities to participate in championship events, skills clinics, workshops, camps and other great activities. We are a community oriented sport.

Little Athletics is broken into summer and winter seasons.

In summer, Centres run a weekly track and field program where athletes participate in the full suite of athletics events.
In winter, the cross country season operates where athletes test their abilities over longer distance events, over challenging terrain.

Little Athletes have one goal during the year, and that’s to achieve their own personal bests.
