Dear members and trial athletes,
We are hopeful our competition this weekend can go ahead. The weather has been very wet on Friday, so please take note of our wet weather policy below.
Wet weather policy
Little Athletics is an all-weather sport but given that our track is on grass, when it’s wet we follow clear guidelines. Most importantly, safety comes first. Decisions are made on the Saturday competition from 7.00am onwards on the day. We will get an email out as soon as time allows and will also update Instagram and Facebook.
Week 2 Saturday Competition Program
With the wet weather our program will avoid hurdles or high jump this week.
Date: Saturday 19th October 2024
Location: Julias Pollack Pavillion, Kooyong
Bib & uniform pickup time: 8.00am-9.00am
Event time: 8.45am – 11.00am
Parent duties: U11 parents are on set-up and packup duties.
EMR Regional Relay Carnival
Relay competition entries have now opened, so please use this link to sign up your kids (U9+). The first event is November 16th, with training also on November 10th. Here is the LAVIC information page.
Age group manager training Saturday, October 26th
My thanks to those that have volunteered as age group managers (AGMs). We still have a few spots to fill and please consider sharing it with another person as well. Please meet with George Pithoulas at 8.30am at the pavilion prior to the commencement of the day.
Due to some resourcing issues, we will now conduct our only AGM skills training on Saturday, October 26th (not this weekend). Please arrive early that day (8.00am) for a training session. This will cover some basic training across events such as throws, jumps and track, instruction on entering data in the app and general rules. Please refer to the following videos here and here for some background.
Volunteering
In week 2, we ask U11 parents to help with set-up and packup duties.
This season we are looking for additional parent and carer support to club activities; and this will be a requirement for athlete participation at our club. For those that have nominated to help on the canteen roster, we welcome your support.
We look forward to seeing athletes this evening for training and everyone this Saturday morning!
Kind regards
Matthew Davison
