Memberships

The first official meet of Little Athletics at Mt Barker will be Friday 20th October 2017.

All registrations including “come & try” and payments are now to be done online. This assists us and reduces a large amount of manual work and processing making it easier for all volunteers.  We appreciate your support with this.

This is NOT a drop and go zone.  Regardless of the age of your little athlete, a parent or guardian over the age of 18yrs must in attendance whilst the athlete/s are on site.

Parents and care givers

We are a family centre and require parent involvement in every aspect. Little Athletics motto is Family Fun and Fitness. To enable each Friday night to run as smoothly as it can we will be asking for parent assistance. Follow this link for a On Your Marks handbook that we will be referencing throughout the season to assist you. We know that you will get as much out of this experience as your little Athletes.

We also have Recreational Athletics (Rec Aths) available to people over the age of 17 to join our centre. Rec Aths membership is entry point for members to participate in friendly competition at Little Athletics SA centres and clubs, compete at the current Mum’s and Dads races at the Little Athletics SA Cross Country events, and Little Athletics SA Relay Day, and will be asked to align with an Athletics SA club. This will give the Rec Aths member the opportunity to also attend Athletics SA competitions. Please follow this link for more information on Rec Aths

Tiny Tots (3 to 5yrs)

The Mount Barker & Districts Little Athletics Centre facilitates a Tiny Tot program for young kids aged 3 to 5. The program is designed around fun play and parent participation, the program runs for about 1 hr and assists in developing confidence, balance, throwing, running and jumping (the basic principles of any sport)

Little Athletics (U6 to U12)

This is where things get moving, we develop a weekly program that is intended to provide exposure to most athletic events from running and Hurdles to long jump, high jump, discus and shot put.

Junior Athletics (U13 to U17)

This is much the same as the Little Athletes, however there is no need to display the word Little on their uniform. This is the transitional platform from Little Athletics to bigger and better things.
