What happens on Wednesday evenings?

Each club evening children are grouped with others of the same age. Each group takes part in three or four events – track and one or two in the field (one throwing and one jumping event). 

We encourage children to participate in all events to enable them to develop a broad base of athletic skill. The club evening programme will include activities to develop individual skills in each event and points nights held every 3rd week designed to support this goal. It is also universally recognised that specialisation at an early age is counter-productive; a balanced, all-round programme will produce the best results for athletes in the long term. 

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost for the season (from 8th October 2025 to 8th of April 2026) is $75 per child.

What Do The Children Wear?

The club uniform consists of a club singlet. This costs $35 and is available on Wednesday evenings.  Athletes can choose their preferred style of shorts but these must be plain black. 

Children can choose to compete barefoot or in shoes. Spiked shoes (‘spikes’) are allowed to be worn by Grades 10 and above. 

What Do The Parents Do?

On club evenings and at outside events, a parent or guardian must attend at all times and is responsible for the behaviour of their child. This includes ensuring that they are not hindering the participation and enjoyment of other athletes and that equipment is being used correctly and safely. Athletics is not a ‘drop and run’ activity.

We also ask parents to offer encouragement and applaud the efforts of all athletes and to help with club evening activities as required.
