TRAINING: Basic skills training by qualified coaches is available at no cost throughout the season. It is completely optional and designed to assist athletes in developing and improving their skills in track and field events. Training is free and covers basic skills and techniques in different events. Children are asked to wear comfortable clothing, flat running shoes, and to bring a water bottle. Events covered at training will vary from week to week, but will be posted on the noticeboard the Saturday before training. More...

ONLINE REGISTRATION: All athletes registering this season have the option of paying online using the Little Athletics NSW Centre Registration System or by making a manual payment to HDLAC on one of the registration days.

TRIALISTS: If you or your child are unsure about whether you want to commit to a season of Little Athletics, you can come to the Centre on a competition morning as a TRIALIST for $5 per attendance. You can trial twice without registering - after that, we would ask you to join the Centre and pay the appropriate registration fee, minus the $10 you already paid. Note that, for insurance purposes, we require you to complete a Trialist Details form (10kB pdf) which you may download and bring with you to the oval. Trialing athletes should present properly attired (joggers, hat, sunblock) and with a drink bottle. Note that trialists are not eligible for Centre awards or records and will not receive a event result ticket. Trialists' competition results are NOT counted towards competition points or star awards.
