❤️🖤 ON YOUR MARKS, SET… LET’S GO! 🖤❤️

Our FIRST Competition Night of the 2026/27 season is TONIGHT - Friday, 11 September!

WHO CAN COMPETE?
Competition Night is for:
• Fully registered athletes
• Athletes already registered for our 2-Week Trial

⚠️ Registrations and new trial registrations are CLOSED as we have reached capacity for the season.

FIRST COMPETITION & TRIAL NIGHT
We’re excited to officially get the season underway and welcome our athletes and families back to Ash Road.

📍 Ash Road Sporting Complex
⏰ Please arrive by 6:15pm
🏃 Announcements at 6.25pm followed by first events

REGO PACKS & UNIFORMS
Rego Pack collection and uniform purchases (EFTPOS only) will be available in the Clubhouse between 5:30pm–6:00pm SHARP.

Please do not arrive after 6:00pm expecting to collect a pack or purchase a uniform. Our Committee Members have responsibilities on the field and must leave the Clubhouse promptly to prepare for competition.

WHAT TO BRING
• Water bottle
• Jumper - it can get cool later in the evening
• Sports shoes suitable for athletics - no football boots

CAR PARKING
Please allow extra time as the car park will be busy. Park only in designated spaces in the main or overflow car park and please do not block neighbouring driveways.

PARENTS - WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Little Athletics relies on parent involvement. Please support your Age Manager and assist your athlete’s age group throughout the night. The more parents who help, the smoother the night runs for everyone.

Remember, a parent or responsible adult MUST remain at the ground while their athlete is competing.

WEATHER
If weather or ground conditions affect competition, an update will be posted to our socials by 5pm. Please don’t message - Committee are at their day jobs during the day.

Tonight will be busy as everyone settles into the new season, so please arrive early, listen for announcements and be patient while our athletes and volunteers find their rhythm.

❤️🖤 We can’t wait to see everyone on the track. Let the 2026/27 season begin!

⚠️ SAFETY AT PRESTONS ROBINS LAC IS IMPORTANT! ⚠️
With our season about to get underway, a quick reminder that keeping our athletes safe is everyone’s responsibility.

Competition nights are busy, with athletes running, jumping and throwing across the ground. Please take a moment to follow these important safety rules:

✅ PARENTS/CARERS MUST STAY
A parent or carer must remain at the ground at all times. Athletes cannot be dropped off and collected later and will not be permitted to compete without a parent/carer present.

✅ STOP. LOOK. CROSS SAFELY.
We have three (3) tracks operating across the ground. Treat them like a road - STOP, LOOK BOTH WAYS and only cross when clear. Athletes, particularly those sprinting in spikes, cannot stop quickly.

✅ KEEP FINISH LINES CLEAR
Once a race has finished, please move away from the finish area. Athletes need a clear space to safely run through the line and slow down.

✅ KEEP FIELD EVENTS CLEAR
Stay outside event areas and danger zones unless assisting an Age Manager or official. This is especially important around throwing events and High Jump.

✅ SUPERVISE YOUNGER CHILDREN
If younger siblings are at the ground, please keep them close and away from tracks and active event areas.

❌ NO DOGS INSIDE THE FIELD FENCE
For the safety of our athletes and families, dogs are not permitted inside the fenced athletics ground.

❌ NO SMOKING OR VA**NG ON THE GROUND
Smoking and va**ng are only permitted in the carpark and must be away from the playground.

Our Committee and Age Managers work hard to keep competition moving safely, but we need everyone’s help.

Please stay alert, follow directions and help us keep the ground safe for all our athletes, volunteers and families. ❤️🖤

🦺 AGE MANAGERS & PARENT VOLUNTEERS - WE NEED YOU!
Little Athletics is run by volunteers, and Friday nights rely on our families getting involved.

⚠️ AGE MANAGERS NEED PARENT HELPERS
Our Age Managers guide and organise their age group, but they cannot run each event on their own.

When your child’s group arrives at an event, we need parents to step forward and help. Please don’t wait to be asked or leave it to the same few families each week.

Parent helpers assist with simple jobs such as measuring, raking, retrieving equipment, recording results and packing up.

No experience is needed - we’ll show you what to do - and Parent Helpers do not require a WWCC.

📢 AGE MANAGERS - NEW WWCC REQUIREMENT THIS SEASON
All Age Managers must hold a valid Working With Children Check (WWCC).

Having a WWCC number alone is not enough - it must also be verified with the Office of the Children’s Guardian (OCG) by PRLAC before you can undertake the role.

Volunteer WWCCs are FREE through Service NSW. Visit https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/apply-for-a-working-with-children-check

❤️🖤 Age Managers lead the group. Parent helpers run the events. We need BOTH to make Friday nights work!

What a fantastic night!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us for Orientation Night last night. It was fantastic to see so many new and some returning families around the track, getting involved and starting the season together!

From learning new techniques and having a go at different events, to discovering what Little Athletics is all about and making new friends - we hope everyone had a great night and is feeling ready for the season ahead. 💪

A special thank you to our amazing demonstrators and helpers who volunteered their time to demonstrate the events and assist our new families. Your support was greatly appreciated by the Committee and truly showcased the wonderful spirit of our Club. 👏
