Waverley Little Athletics Centre Inc.

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.

We are still looking for more members to join the Committee, as General Committee Members. We will welcome aboard anyone that is keen or interested in joining our fabulous team of hard working volunteers, to ensure the Centre remains one of the best in Victoria. We require as much help from our members to run the Centre, learn the ropes and to assist with various tasks. Please feel free to contact me or any other Committee Member to have a chat.
