Little Athletics

Little Athletics is an Australian activity which introduces children aged 5 to 15 (or 16 in ACT, NSW, QLD and SA) to sport through modified athletics events. It is a popular activity with children who enjoy athletics, and enjoy competing. It is good for other sports too as it encourages stamina, speed, competitiveness, etc., which are widely used in all sports

Little A's or Little Aths, as it is affectionately referred to by those who enjoy it, is not just about competing, but also about having fun, making friends and getting families involved in healthy activities. It is little surprise, then, that the motto of Little Athletics is: "Family, Fun and Fitness".

Little Athletics recognises that children vary widely in shape, size and athletic ability, and is thus one of few sports that successfully caters for them all.
