Coastal Districts Little Athletics encourages children aged 3 to Under 17 regardless of ability to strive to achieve their best in the full range of athletic events. The emphasis is on fun, fitness, and improvement, not winning. All events use equipment specifically designed to be appropriate to the size and ability of the child. It is safe, fun and develops all round fitness.
Parents of athletes must be present at all times and are expected to get involved in the running of competition. Athletics requires many volunteers as there is so much happening at once. Parents or caregivers travel from event to event with their child to give support and to volunteer. Jobs would include, measuring throws, raking sand in a jumps pit, recording results etc.
FREE Come and Try sessions are offered for two weeks to any new athletes.
