Frequently Asked Questions

How good do I have to be?

All you have to do is BE YOUR BEST!

When is it?

Once registered, a program will be supplied. Generally we meet on Sunday mornings at 9:00 for a 9:15 start. Families are encouraged to arrive earlier to help set up. A new season starts in September and runs until late March with a short break over Christmas.

What if I don't know what to do?

As well as training nights, we have officials and chaperones who can assist you with each event. Everyone was a beginner at some stage.

What events are there?

Little Athletics offers a wide range of events: Sprints, Middle Distance, Walks, Relays, Hurdles, High Jump, Long Jump, Triple Jump, Discus, Shot Put, Javelin and Cross Country.

Where are you?

We meet at the Wirreanda High School oval, States Rd, Morphett Vale.

What can I do as a parent?

Little Athletics is an organisation run by parents for their children. There are numerous ways in which a parent can assist. All the equipment needs setting up before a meet and packed up afterwards. Each age group needs a chaperone. You can become a registered official. Each event needs assistance in some way. There is also the staffing of the BBQ and canteen. We rely on parents for the continuing success of our club.

How old do I have to be?

We have our Tiny Tot sessions starting at 3 years of age and continue to Under 17's.

How much does it cost?

The cost for one child for season 08/09 is $60 but cheaper if you registered more athletes per family.

You can "come n try" with no obligation. We do ask a small fee of $5 per child to cover insurance but that will be deducted from your registration fees.

A Uniform is required once registered. Shirts can be purchased from the club for $30 each and hats are available for $10.00.

After that, there are no additional costs so it is very good value for the season compared to other sports.
