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.

Summer:
Athletics provides a great opportunity to get into athletics and improve your fitness. Its fun and welcoming nature invites kids of all abilities to participate. I have been a member since U6s and am so grateful for all the memories and supportive friends I have made along the way.
Dylan:
Hi my name is Dylan I have been coming to KLAC since I was 7 years old, I am 15 now. When I first started, I enjoyed taking part in all the events particularly the racewalking, long distance, discus and shot put. I have represented KLAC at Zone, Region and State in various events, but mainly 1500m Walk, 1500m and 3000m. I have been LANSW State Champion for racewalking in my age group three times and was chosen to be part of the LANSW U13 State team , I then went on to win Gold for U13 1500m racewalk at the National LA Champs. In 2022 I was chosen to attend the LA National camp on the Gold Coast where I trained with other racewalkers from different States . Last winter I helped out at the KLAC winter cross country training and was proud to qualify for the NSW team to run at the Australian XC Champs in Canberra in 2023. I enjoy Little A's at KLAC because its relaxed, fun and has a good sense of community.
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.
Athletics provides an opportunity for me to have all 4 of my kids participating in Sport at the same place at the same time which makes it easy for logistics with a big family.
The fact we get to do it with Kuringai which is such a great community club gives my kids the opportunity to learn good values through a community spirit which is second to none.
The competitive yet supportive environment Kuringai possesses has given my kids the right platform to learn to Win and Lose yet still love the sport and be respectful at the finish line.
My Kids Love it!
