What do I do as a parent?
Parents are required to stay each Saturday and help out on the oval at sites, or alternatively can help in the Canteen. Officials will always be around to offer any help, or to show you how its done.
Our Centre can only continue with the support of the parents being involved in the days activities.
Little Athletics is a family affair!
What if it is raining on the morning/evening of competition?
In the case of bad weather, cancelled meetings will be advertised on HOFM (101.7) from approximately 7.30 a.m. onwards.
If a meeting is in doubt after it has started, a decision will then be made on whether or not we should continue the days competition.
