Welcome to the Werribee Little Athletics Centre page. WLAC is a member of Little Athletics Victoria (LAVic). Thousands of young Victorians (U6-U17) participate on a weekly basis at over 102 centres around Victoria. Athletics gives children the opportunity to participate in a range of activities including running, jumping and throwing between the ages of 5 and 17. Little Athletics acknowledges participation and self-improvement – not just winning. The primary goal of Little Athletics is to develop children of all abilities by promoting positive attitudes and a healthy lifestyle through family and community involvement in athletics activities. Little Athletics requires and depends on family participation at all levels. Parents are always needed to help out with the Centre program as officials and helpers. On average we require around 75 parents, so a roster system gives every parent the opportunity to assist around 4 to 5 times a season. A BRIEF HISTORY OF WERRIBEE LITTLE ATHLETICS
WLAC started in 1970 and competed at the grass track at Galvin Park, sharing with the facility with the Werribee Bees Soccer Club. The Centre moved to the new synthetic track at Victoria University for the commencement of the 2003 season. LIFE MEMBERS OF WERRIBEE LITTLE ATHLETICS
