The Kewdale Little Athletics Club was one of the founding clubs of the Belmont Little Athletics Centre which was established in 1970. Like all of the original eleven clubs at that time, its member base was derived solely from the students of the local primary school each club was named after. The clubs were Belmay, Belmont, Canning Districts, Carlisle, Cloverdale, High Wycombe, Kewdale, Notre Dame, Rivervale, Tranby and Whiteside. The official start of Little Athletics in Western Australia was three seasons earlier in February 1968. That first season saw around 200 athletes compete in half a dozen competition days. The following season the numbers grew to around 1000 athletes, and the Western Australia Little Athletics Association was formed shortly after as a number of independant Centres were setup throughout the metropolitan area. The 1970/71 season was the inaugural season for the Belmont Little Athletics Centre and the Kewdale Club. The first official competition was held at Forster Park on Abernethy Road in Cloverdale where it remained until the 1972/73 season. In 1973 the Belmont Centre moved across the road to the Gerry Archer Athletics Track, a dedicated venue which was established to cater for the growing number of athletes taking up the sport. As the athletes were from the local Primary Schools, the only age groups able to compete were the Under 8's to Under 13's. A normal competition day started at 8:45am and finished at 5:00pm each Saturday due to there being nearly 1000 athletes competing with over 200 children being in the Under 8 age group alone. Kewdale's original uniform of a black and white shirt with black shorts was maintained right through from 1970/71 until the 2011/12 season. The current gold and black shirt with black shorts was first trialed in the 2010/11 season and was phased in over the 2011/12 season. The 2012/13 season will be the first where only the new shirt will be recognised as the Kewdale Little Athletics Club's official uniform.
