Session #6 – 5/2/2025
Welcome back Stormers for the second half of our 2024/25 season!
We hope everyone had a restful break over the school holidays and are ready to get back in to Little Athletics! Here are is the key information families need to know:
This week we have some very special guest coaches and event! Olympic racewalkers Brendon Reading (AUS) and Evan Dunfee (CAN) will be leading the U8s and above in some racewalking skills sessions, culminating in a ~700m (U8/U9s), 1100m (U10/U11s) and 1500m (12+) racewalk for the final session. Those waiting on uniforms, a major delay means they are not ready to be distributed as we had hoped. We will be in touch soon with more info. We still have lots of our previous season uniforms for sale. $10 each, cash or card. Come and see us at the rego desk. We need a couple of helpers to cook and serve the BBQ this week, please let us know if you can help. The weather forecast is for possible rain and thunderstorms. We continue training in light rain, however if there is heavy rain, hail or lightening training will be cancelled and advised via FB and on our website by 3pm. We need help each week with setup of equipment from 5.30pm and pack up at the end of the session until 8pm. If you can help please let us know. The Session plan shows events and times for each age group, our map below shows where each event is held. REMINDER – parents are expected to stay onsite, with your children and assist the age managers in the running of the evening. How to help at Little Athletics Parents please be aware Age Managers and Coaches need support to deal with any behaviour issues in Age Groups. If children are being unsafe, disrespectful or causing issues they are encouraged to stop them, ask them to sit out, ask their parent to take action or if a parent isn’t with the group seek assistance from the Exec Team. We do want the kids to have fun, but they also are expected to listen, follow the rules and be safe. By stopping poor behaviour quickly we will ensure everyone has clear expectations of how to behave at little athletics and make sure all kids feel safe and enjoy the sessions.
