WHAT IS LITTLE ATHLETICS?
Little Athletics is a uniquely Australian modified track and field program designed for children aged 3 to 17. Offering a diverse range of events, including sprinting, hurdles, middle-distance running, shot put, javelin, discus, high jump, long jump, triple jump, and race walking, Little Athletics is about trying to “Be your Best” ®. The program places a strong emphasis on our core values of “Family, Fun and Fitness” as well as focusing on celebrating individual personal improvement. Events are specifically modified to be age-appropriate, utilising lightweight, child-sized equipment (such as safety javelins and lower hurdles). For our youngest participants, the Tiny Tots program (ages 3-4) offers an engaging, play-based environment aimed at building fundamental movement skills like running, jumping, and throwing, preparing them for a smooth transition into junior athletics.
