Season Breakdown
The Little Athletics season is due to begin on Saturday 4th October 2025. The season is broken up into 2 parts:
Summer Track & Field
Competitions are held on Saturday mornings at Central Reserve, between October and March.
Winter Cross Country
Competitions are held between April and August, run at various parks in the local area.
PLEASE NOTE: Parents or guardians are required to stay for the duration of the weekly programs as they remain primarily responsible for the behaviour and welfare of their children.
Age Groups & Proof of Age
Age Groups for 2025/26
Age Groups for the 2025/26 season are based on how old the athlete is as of 31st December 2025.
To determine the age group that athletes will belong to during the 2025/26 season, please use the Age Group Calculator (Ready Reckoner).
Important: Athletes born in 2021 must have turned 5 before being able to register.
Each athlete competes in their age group, except that U13 and above may compete together in a group known as the Southern Stars.
Proof of Age (POA)
LAVic requires that ALL MEMBERS provide Proof of Age to the Registrar. This may be in the form of a passport, birth certificate or child health record.
Proof of age must be shown prior to athletes competing, or forfeit all results up until such time as it is presented.
Parent Involvement (How Can I Help)
The Centre is entirely run by volunteers and we need a lot of help to keep things running smoothly.
All parents/guardians are required to do a number of duties during the season.
