Joining Waverley Little Athletics Centre Inc.

Registration - New / Returning

The new Track and Field (Summer) season starts on Sat 5th Oct 2019 and ends in March 2020.

Discounted fees for the second half of the season Jan 2020 - March 2020 (10 weeks) and cross country in winter: $130.

Waverley Little Athletics is based at the Central Reserve Athletics Track.

We run on Saturday mornings with the warm-up starting at 8:45am and are usually finished by 11:30am. There are some Thursday evening twilight replacements when there is a state or region event on the Saturday. These start at 5:45pm and are finished by 8pm.

All Little Athletics Victoria registered athletes are welcome to compete with us but please wear your LAVic patch and visit the Admin table on your first visit so that we can record your results for the Results section of the website. This is the only way to get all your results as we don't give out tickets for the events.

Little Athletics

Little Athletics is a Centre based Track & Field competition for children aged between 5 and 15.  For more details check out What is Little Athletics?

Waverley Little Athletics Centre is based at Central Reserve Athletics Track in Glen Waverley, is affiliated with Little Athetics Victoria and is part of the Southern Metropolitan Region (SMR). Not near Glen Waverley? Find your nearest Centre.

Because Little Athletics is a totally voluntary organisation, the Centre cannot operate without the assistance of parents each week in fulfilling the many and varied duties required. These include officiating at an event; managing an age group; recording results; working in the canteen; to name just a few. Additional assistance is always required on the Centre committees and all parents are encouraged to become involved. Little Athletics is one of the few sports where parents can become fully involved in their child's sporting interests.

14/02/2020 - Relaython results 2020

Hi Everyone,

Last Saturday (8th Feb 2020) we held our annual Relaython event, to help raise funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. 

This is an annual fun day event held by our Centre to create awareness about and raise funds for this wonderful cause. 

Since the Victorian Little Athletics Association was formed in the late 1960’s, the RCHGFA has been an annual calendar event. LAVic has collectively raised over $1m from fundraising events, throughout the state Centres.

The purpose of the Relaython is to have a fun day for all, have one relay baton make its way around the track non-stop and the goal is to run as many laps as possible in the best possible timeframe. 

This years result from our annual Relaython Are very impressive, they stack up nicely against previous years. We ran 130 laps of the track in 3h 23m 43.57s. 

• Start time 8:49am
• Our first Lap was run by Logan and Harley Irvine
• Laps 1-9 run thru the warm up
• Laps 10-19 were run by SS
• Laps 20-31 were run by U12
• Laps 32-46 were run by U9
• Lap 47 was walked by an injured Luke Cooke and Sarah Cooke
• Laps 48-58 were run by U10
• Lap 59 was run by Evan Dobson
• Lap 60 was run by Michael Jupp
• Laps 61-72 were run by the U6 & U7
• Lap 73 was run by me (Dylan)
• Lap 74 was run by Denis Irvine
• Laps 75-79 were run by a mixture of parents and athletes
• Lap 80 was run by 2x dads and their kids
• Laps 81-84 were run by U8
• Lap 85 was run by Logan Irvine
• Lap 86-90 was run by U11
• Lap 91-130 were run by parents and athletes once the program had finished
• Lap 130 was run by Max Taborsky and the whole group that stayed behind to run laps
• Relaython for 2020 concluded at 12:13pm

A massive thank you to everyone who took part in our Relaython, it’s a great chance for our parents to get involved and have a fun run with their kids too. 

We have not totalled the moneys raised yet because we will continue to sell raffle tickets next Saturday morning, for a short time, before drawing our winners. 

Kind Regards,

Dylan Cooper
