List of Little Athletics Centres in Melbourne



List of Little Athletics Centres in Melbourne

Little Athletics is an athletics program catering for children from 5 to 15 years. It is based upon track and field sports and includes a wide range of events including running, jumping, throwing and walking with events modified to suit the age, developmental stage and ability of the children.

Little Athletics promotes that it is important to "Be your Best" and the emphasis is on fun, participation, performance, technique and getting involved with your family in physical and healthy activity.

Little Athletics is primarily a summer activity, generally running from October through to late March. Some Centres also conduct cross-country during the winter months, taking place during April to the end of July.

The cost of Little Athletics is very reasonable (around $160 per year). Because Little Athletics is a totally voluntary sport, Centres cannot operate without the assistance of parents and other adult volunteers each week in fulfilling the many duties required. Most Centres therefore have parent duty rosters in order to share the load.

The following Little Athletics Centres are located in the Melbourne area. Click on the links to find out more information about each club.
