The little athletics summer season will run from the 18th September 2023 to March 2024. Training is held two times per week. Whilst we recommend you try and attend both training sessions training, they are not compulsory so you can simply choose to come once or twice a week. First competition day is Saturday 7th October.
Coaches & Parent Helpers
This club is run by volunteers and as we are a family club, we ask all Parents to have an active role in all training sessions. The coaches need your assistance in helping run activity stations as the more help we have the better quality of training we can achieve making it more enjoyable for everyone. The kids will also love that you are out there with them. No experience in coaching is necessary, just a fun positive attitude is all that’s needed. Just like the kids, learn as you go. We have some excellent training videos you can watch to learn the basics, but essentially we need you there to help direct and keep the athletes safe.
Training & Safety Policy
The Club will ensure the utmost duty of care in providing your child/ren with a safe and pleasant environment in which to train. We do however have a training policy that requires a parent or guardian to be present and onsite at all times.
The Club will not take responsibility for your child’s safety if they are left unattended. If you are unable to remain at training, we suggest you make friends with other parent/s and ask them to be responsible for your child/ren, if they need to be taken to the toilet.
Our agreement with the Primary School only covers the oval grounds and NOT THE PLAYGROUNDS. The school has asked us, not to allow the kids to play on any of their playgrounds at all.
Before deciding to join HWLAC little athletics, we just want to make you aware of the parent/guardian requirements and commitments.
