🚨 NEWS - Adelaide Plains Giants - Little Athletics Club 🚨

Adelaide Plains Giants Little Athletics Club are incredibly proud and excited to announce that we have been named

🏆 Coles Centre of the Year – Inner Regional (Australia) 🏆

We would like to extend a massive thank you to Little Athletics South Australia for nominating our club. This recognition came as a complete surprise to us, and we are beyond honoured to be acknowledged at this level.

Last night, at the prestigious Little Athletics Hall of Fame Awards in Brisbane, our small club was announced as the national winner — this an absolutely unforgettable moment for Adelaide Plains Giants

This award is a reflection of how a few volunteers with the dedication, passion and hard work made a difference. From our amazing athletes, supportive families, tireless volunteers, and committed committee — this achievement belongs to all of you.

We also thank Coles for their continued support of Little Athletics across Australia, helping clubs like ours grow and thrive.
From a regional club with big dreams… — what an incredible journey 🙌

A very special personal THANKYOU to the incredible committee who have worked alongside me over the past three seasons — Joanne, Nikki, and Clare. We all started this journey brand new but together we navigated our way, learning and growing every step of the way.
We set out with a clear vision of growth, development, and building skills across our club, and to now see how far we’ve come shows that all the hard work, dedication, and commitment has truly paid off - Rhiannon

📢 Volunteers!!! Volunteers are the foundation of our club — the early arrivals, the late stayers, the quiet achievers behind every successful meet.

Without them, there is no club — and with them, anything is possible.

👍 Congratulations to all of our incredible volunteers, and a special congratulations to our Volunteer of the Season, Morgan L 🪴
This award could truly have gone to so many, which makes it even more special. Morgan, you have stood out with your willingness to jump in wherever needed — from line marking and cooking BBQs to leading groups and always saying “yes, I’ll give it a go” to anything asked of you.

👏 Coach Recognition 2025/2026 👏

This year, we would like to recognise something that started as a goal just a couple of years ago.
As a committee, we set out to bring coaching to our club. We began by attending ITLAS coaching days and competition days, learning as much as we could. It was during an ITLAS course that we met Daniel — and from that moment, we said, “Wouldn’t it be great to have a coach like that at our club?”
From then on, we knew this was exactly what our athletes needed.
Daniel joined our club without hesitation, generously volunteering his time — while also supporting other clubs across SA. A highly sought-after coach, and we are incredibly lucky to have him.
What Daniel may not fully realise is the impact he has had. His presence, knowledge, and encouragement have helped our athletes grow, improve, and achieve their very best. We have seen increased success across events, a true reflection of the positive influence he has had on our athletes.
Thank you, Daniel

Did you know Coles is a major sponsor of Little Athletics Australia? 🍌

Each week, Coles donates boxes of fresh bananas to clubs right across the country — helping fuel our athletes with a healthy, delicious snack.

How amazing is that!

They also supported our Club this year and many other clubs around SA with the ever fun "Coles community round"

We’re incredibly grateful for their ongoing support in keeping our kids energised, healthy, and ready to give their best (and beat that hanger 😉).

Thank you, Coles, for supporting our athletes and our club 💙💛

🌟 Tiny Tots 🌟

APG Giants Tiny Tots have finished their 25/26 seasons program..🎉🏁

Tiny Tots is designed especially for our youngest athletes aged 3–5 years, and it’s truly something special 💛💙

Through fun, active play, our Tiny Tots are introduced to the fundamentals of movement — running, jumping, throwing, balancing and coordination — all in a safe and supportive environment.

It’s not about competition… it’s about confidence, smiles and giving things a go!

At this age, children are developing so many important skills:
✨ Building confidence and independence
✨ Learning to listen and follow instructions
✨ Developing coordination and balance
✨ Making new friends and being part of a team

And the best part, Tanya our TT leader made it that they don’t even realise how much they’re learning… they’re just having FUN!

We love watching our Tiny Tots grow each week — from shy little starters to confident, happy participants. The smiles, laughter and excitement say it all 🥰

Congratulations Tiny Tots, some of you will next season 2627, be participating in under 5 aged groups events!!

If you have a little one aged 3–5, Tiny Tots is the perfect introduction to athletics and a great way to get them moving!
