ABOUT WODEN LITTLE ATHLETICS CLUB

The Woden Little Athletics Club has been running for almost 40 years. Established in 1972, the club strives to promote athletics for children and adolescents between the ages of five and sixteen. Our aim is to develop the confidence, fitness and athletic skills of young people in a safe and fun environment. The motto of Little Athletics is "Family, Fun & Fitness."

The club is run by the parents of children who are registered with the club. By taking an active part in the running of the club, parents can have as much enjoyment as their children. Most tasks do not require a background in athletics but they are vital to ensuring an enjoyable athletics program each week.

The Woden Little Athletics Club is based at the Woden Park Athletics Field in Canberra. Club competition is held on Saturday mornings and children participate in their age groups in various track and field events managed by parent volunteers. Children between the ages of five and sixteen can register with the club. Age groups are determined by the child's age at 1 October and the child competes in that age group for the whole the season. Children who are younger than five on 1 October can be registered if they will turn five by the end of March.

The season runs from October through to March each year. A committee is elected at the Annual General Meeting each year to organise the running of the club for the next season. For a complete list of those on the committee go to the Committee page.

Our club competition days are Saturday mornings from 8:45 am to 12:00 pm. When there are inter-club carnivals held on a Sunday, we hold our club competition on the preceding Friday evening. The main inter-club and ACTLAA competition events that WLAC compete in throughout the season are:

  • Woden Carnival Ribbon Day
  • Multi Event Carnival (Usually November)
  • Relay Carnival (usually December)
  • Southside Regional Carnival (usually March)
  • ACT State Championships (end of season)
For more information about these events go to the Carnivals page under Calendar.
