FAMILY, FRIENDSHIP, FUN, FITNESS

Little athletics is based on the sport of athletics (track and field). It is also the foundation for most sports in the way in which it develops an individual’s speed, strength and stamina.

Little athletics is a community activity run by volunteers which allows the family unit to do something together alongside other families in our local community. We do it because we are passionate about children’s wellbeing and see the social, physical and mental benefits of being part of our Little Athletics community.

Little athletics allows children to participate in a range of different activities, develop new friendships with children from different schools and have fun doing so. We encourage everyone to simply do your best and be your best. During the course of the season our athletes get fitter, faster and stronger. They also develop the mental strength and confidence to push themselves and their fellow athletes.

Little Athletics demonstrates that getting fitter can be fun and enjoyable and families can do it together. Why don’t you and your family give Little Athletics a try.

Community Profiles

Ava Garnys
I can’t emphasise the incredible benefits of participating in Little Athletics enough.
I started Athletics last year, initially for fitness, but now, come each week for the amazing community. I’m so grateful for the warm welcome and the supportive friends I’ve made–we are each other’s cheer squads!
Athletics is all about fun and building perspective. With multiple events every Saturday a poor throw is soon forgotten after a great run, and when you look back over the season it’s amazing how far everyone has come. Whether you achieve a personal best or a mixed bag of results, you always come away with a smile, and a sausage sandwich!

Tyson Neal
I have been attending KLAC since I was 5 years old and I am now 16 years old. I enjoy Little Athletics because everyone, no matter their ability, can participate. My favourite events are the throwing events, particularly Javelin. I have represented KLAC at Zone, Regionals and State. And I have represented NSW at National All Schools and National Championships in Javelin, Pole Vault and the Decathlon.

KLAC Captains - Ava and Tyson , Club Captains.

We have loved our first two seasons with Ku Ring Gai Little Athletics Centre. It’s wonderful to see our boys having fun, making friends and staying active each week. The club is fantastic for developing their skills and fitness, promoting a healthy lifestyle and developing their capabilities to engage in all the track & field events, and learnings they can carry over to many sports. KLAC is a wonderful environment for kids to make new friends and learn the importance of teamwork, as well the fun of competition and building self-reliance & resilience. The Saturday morning competitions at Bannockburn are a great way for us to spend time as a family and meet other families who share similar values. As a KLAC Age Manager for the past few years, it's been great to work together with all the families contributing throughout the season, making training and competition days fun and successful, and building many family friendships. Being part of the KLAC community fosters a love of sport that we hope will stay with our boys for life.
