WE NEED YOUR HELP — OR WE CAN’T START OUR SEASON!

Our Little Athletics season is just around the corner, but right now we have a serious shortage of committee members and weekly age group coordinators.
Unfortunately, this means we cannot open registrations or start our weekly meets unless we have enough people to help us run them.
We know everyone is busy. We know volunteering can feel like a big commitment. But our club only exists because parents, families and members of our community put their hands up to make it happen. ❤️

We are desperately asking our community — can you help?
We need people who are willing to:
🏃‍♀️ Join our committee
🏃‍♂️ Take responsibility for an age group each week
⏱️ Help coordinate events and keep the meet running
📝 Record results accurately
🤝 Work alongside other volunteers to share the load
And you won’t be expected to know everything!
We will organise a practical workshop before the season where we’ll go through each event, explain how to run it, what you need to know and how to record results accurately.
Our aim is to make sure everyone feels supported, prepared and confident in their role. You don’t need to be an athletics expert — just willing to learn and commit to helping each week.

What we do need is people who are willing to put their hand up and show up.
Without enough volunteers, there simply aren’t enough people to safely and effectively run our weekly meets.

And we would absolutely hate to see our athletes miss out on their season — because they are the reason we’re all here. 💙

It’s always so nice seeing familiar faces shared in events outside of the Athletics season.

Looks like Rhylin took part in both the Devonport and the Hobart glow run. Anyone else?

It's medal Monday 🏅

Post a photo of your medals below for everyone to see.

Will we see you in 2027?

As previously communicated, we are always in need of willing helpers/volunteers each week throughout the season to keep the program running smoothly.

This season we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our new messenger chat group! This group will be a quick easy way to communicate upcoming volunteer opportunities and information about club meets/events.

If you are interested in being in this fantastic team and helping our club thrive, please express interest to join the chat. Your support makes a huge difference and is so gratefully appreciated.

While we are talking all about needing volunteers, please note, to comply with the Child and Youth Safe Organisations Framework, ALL adults volunteering at Deloraine, as well as at Little Athletics Tasmania events, are required to hold a Working with Vulnerable People card.

As of January 2026, obtaining a card for volunteers is now FREE of charge. previously $22.

Information on how to register can be found here: www.justice.tas.gov.au/rwvp

If you are a parent/friend/family member of an athlete at the club, you will be required to hold a card in order to be with them at sites. Now is a great time to apply as the process can often take some time to finalise before receiving your physical card in the mail.

Huge thanks to everyone who responded to our call for volunteers for the Tiny Tots program!
We're so grateful for the overwhelming support. 🙌🏼👏🏼

Your willingness to help ensures our little athletes have a fantastic start.

A reminder to everyone, volunteers are the backbone of our club and every contribution helps us thrive.

Our committee is tiny and although it was the tiny tots program we were most concerned about, we do require a large number of volunteers across all age groups and areas.

Let's continue to support each other and keep our club running strong. Thank you again to all our amazing volunteers!

It’s cross country season! Distance running in the off season is a great way to keep on top of your fitness before athletics starts again!

Big congrats to two of our athletes who both won their school event then represented their high school on Tuesday, at the Northern TAS Interhigh cross country with outstanding results!

Mina - 1st in Div 2, 4th overall
Finley - 1st in Div 2, 3rd overall

Well done Mina and Finley! 👏

Can’t wait to see watch their efforts at the all schools state event in June.

We love to see our athletes competing in their sports outside of athletics, so please feel free to drop a comment or photo below if your child has competed recently!

Dear Families,

After our AGM the other night, we're reaching out to inform you about an important update concerning our Tiny Tots program for the upcoming season.

Our U6-U15 programs will continue to run as scheduled, offering the same high-quality athletic development and fun that you've come to expect.

However, we're facing a challenge with our Tiny Totts program. Due to our club's limited volunteers, we're unable to manage the Tiny Tots program without additional support.
Therefore, the Tiny Tots program will be suspended for the next season unless we can find a volunteer to lead the program each week.

We deeply value the Tiny Tots program and the foundation it provides for our youngest athletes. If you're passionate about early childhood sports and have the time and enthusiasm to run the program, we'd love to hear from you!

Please contact us if you're interested in volunteering or have any questions.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
