St
George Little Athletics is a member of the Little
Athletics Association of
NSW offering a wide range of running, walking,
hurdling, jumping and
throwing events for children between 5 years and 17 years as at 30th
September
of the current season. Distances, heights and weights vary
with age, and
children are graded by age.
Little Athletics encourages participation and self-improvement, not
just
winning. Children receive stickers each week and they have the
satisfaction of
seeing their own performances improve week by week.
Children are offered a weekly competition throughout summer, a general
coaching
session once a week and access to specialised coaching. There
is a full
Championships programme for the more gifted athletes leading to State
titles
and a national competition for older athletes.
Weekly competition is conducted at Olds Park,
Peakhurst, on
Friday nights from September to March, commencing at 5.45pm. In case of
inclement weather the phone at Olds Park 9153-5088 will have
a recorded message if the evening's competition is cancelled.
