Caulfield Little Athletics is heading into our 53rd year of providing fun, fitness and participation for children aged 5, and for the first time, up to age 17.

Located at the wonderful Duncan Mackinnon Reserve, Murrumbeena, we are blessed with the best athletics sporting facilities in the region.

PRE- SEASON TRAINING STARTS – MONDAY SEPTEMBER 5
Pre-season training for U8-U17 will commence on Monday 5th September and consist of one training session from 5.00pm-6.30pm on Mondays in the lead up to our first official competition day on Saturday October 1. The focus will be on five disciplines – sprints, distance running, throws, jumps and hurdles and athletes will rotate through these during September.

Ensure you have registered your child for the upcoming season prior to attending training so they are covered by insurance. Book in for training via Team App.

WELCOME TO CAULFIELD DAY – SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 17
We are expecting many trial athletes to be in attendance, so let’s make sure we give them a warm welcome.

COMMENCEMENT OF COMPETITION – SATURDAY OCTOBER 1
Our first official competition day is on Saturday October 1. The current season calendar is available at https://caulfieldlac.com.au/?page_id=93. This calendar is a guide only and is subject to change.

COMMENCEMENT OF SUMMER TRAINING – MONDAY OCTOBER 3
Training is planned for Monday and Wednesday 5:30pm to 6:30 pm for all athletes (includes our On Track U6/U7s).

A smaller training session is planned for Thursday 5:30pm to 6:30pm (no U6/U7 training).

DUTY ROSTER
Parents/Carers need to understand that they are an important part in keeping our sport moving forward. Parents are expected to do duty when required – at a minimum, 50% of the meets that your children participate at. It’s not scary, you don’t need to be an expert, and it’s actually great fun to be involved with the children.

The link to the duty roster will be in your registration receipt. If you missed seeing it, the link is below.

Any questions about duty can be directed to our duty coordinator at duty@caulfieldlittleaths.org.au

COMMITTEE MEMBERS
We still do not have the positions of President or Vice President filled for this season. If you are interested in talking about what these positions involve please contact Jason on 0439 347 291. There is also the possibility of job sharing the roles if you would like to join up with a friend. We have a great group on the Committee this year, with lots of new and old faces, ready to assist.

Finally, if you’d like to know more, wish to lend a hand or have any questions please call our Registrar Claire – 0409 705 955 or email registrar@caulfieldlittleaths.org.au. We look forward to getting back on track this week.
