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.

01/08/2021 - LAVic State Cross Country Relays cancelled.

Disappointing news that the LAVic State Cross Country Relays, postponed to 14th August, has now been cancelled. Due to the ongoing uncertainty caused by changing COVID19 restrictions. We had 8 teams from various age groups registered for this event - which would have been a great turnout for our centre. Thankyou to our families and athletes for your support of this event.

LAVic State Cross Country Championships is currently postponed. We have 15 athletes registered for this event, again another great turnout for our centre. Fingers crossed they will get a run.

29/07/2021 - Vacant Committee Positions / Resignation of Secretary

Good Morning WLAC Members,

It's with regret to inform you that our Secretary, Timo, has resigned from the position effective 28/07/21 due to a change in personal circumstances. This decision was not an easy one to make, however Timo felt it was best to relinquish the role to make way for someone else to take over. 

We thank Timo for his efforts as Secretary, albeit short. He will continue on the General Committee and we look forward to his valued input and continued support. 

At the Waverley Little Athletics Centre Inc., the Committee is run by a group of dedicated volunteers, who give up their time to ensure our Centre can operate to provide a sport for your children. 

We need parent volunteers to step up, now more than ever, by joining the WLAC Committee to ensure the short term and long term success of the Centre. I can not emphasise to you how important it is that we fill our vacant Committee positions. We need new volunteers stepping up and contributing to running the Centre. Without you, our sport will not be possible. 

The following Committee Positions remain vacant and we need parents/volunteers to consider taking on one of these roles as soon as possible:

1. Secretary
2. Arena Manager
3. Publicity Manager

Secretary
Forming part of the Executive, the Secretary is responsible for managing the Centre administration, day-to-day operations, correspondence, organising Committee Meetings and taking meeting minutes. There are several processes in place that make this role easier for our volunteers. Under the consumer affairs rules, we need to appoint a new Secretary within 14 days. 

Arena Manager
Responsible for executing and running our program on a Saturday morning in conjunction with our Centre Mentor, President and Key Officials. Also responsible for making changes to our program and the optional responsibility of announcing. Our previous Arena Manager, Denis Irvine, did a fantastic job and has left a decent size pair of shoes to fill. 

Publicity Manager
Responsible for organising the Centre's Marketing and Sponsorship in the lead up to the start of our season and looking after some aspects of our Social Media. 

Child Safety Officer
Responsible for ensuring the overall safety of our children at Waverley LAC and ensuring we follow the current guidelines in place as set out by the Child Safety Standards. This position does not necessarily need to be on the Committee.

As President of WLAC, I implore our parents to consider joining the Committee, take on the challenge and put your hand up for one of the vacant positions above. Being part of our Committee is a rewarding experience, where you make new friends, learn a new thing or two and serve the Centre for YOUR children. 

Please get in contact with me if you're in a position to join the Committee. 

Kind Regards,

Dylan Cooper
President and Life Member
Waverley Little Athletics Centre Inc.
