Little Athletics

Little Athletics is QLD-wide and has 2 seasons each year (Wide Bay & South - September to March,North Qld to South of Rockhampton - April to August). Caters for 6 - 15 year olds, although some centres may also have a Tiny Tots program for ages 4 and 5. Little Athletics aims to develop children of all abilities by promoting positive attitudes and a healthy lifestyle through family and community involvement in athletics activities. The Little Athletics motto of ‘Family, Fun and Fitness’ highlights that it is a community activity involving the whole family on a weekly basis. Athletes are encouraged to improve their own performances, sportsmanship and social skills, throughout the season. Each of the events offered is age appropriate according to motor development and a gradual process of skill learning, supported by the National Junior Sports Policy. A range of fun activities, such as play training, participation in weekly Centre competitions and participating in various QLAA carnivals and competitions, occurs at Little Athletics. By participating at Little Athletics, children are contributing to their own active and healthy lifestyle. This can be achieved via involvement in outdoor activities, QLAA competitions and carnivals, coaching clinics and camps, and training sessions at local Centres. Click Here for further information
