The philosophy of Australian Little Athletics is best captured by the words “family, fun and fitness”. As part of this philosophy we encourage athletes and volunteers to embrace “BE YOUR BEST”.

FAMILY

The cornerstone of Little Athletics is family involvement in activity programs. Parents are encouraged to participate in all activities from Centre to National level.

FUN

With the focus on participation and personal improvement, Little Athletics encourages children to enjoy sporting activities, develop motor skills, enjoy social interaction in a supportive and friendly atmosphere.

FITNESS

The emphasis on developing a healthy attitude to physical fitness at an early age is the key to adopting good habits for life.

To stand children in good stead throughout their life, Little Athletics contributes to the development of the fundamental skills in running, throwing and jumping by personal improvement and participation and, at the same time, emphasises family values and enjoyment.

How you can help

Little Athletics cannot run without parent involvement. The great news is that you do not need to know anything about athletics to help out. Most tasks that need to be performed at Little Athletics meets are fairly easy, and your children will enjoy seeing you get involved.

Tasks include setting up and packing away equipment, time keeping, measuring, chaperoning, assisting with Tiny Tots, cooking the BBQ-to name a few. A committee member will always be available to guide you if you are unsure.
