Get Active Kids Voucher for Little Athletics

Did you know you can use your Active Kids Voucher towards your Little Athletics registration?

If you have an Active Kids Voucher, you can use it to help cover the cost of your child/ren’s Little Athletics registration for the upcoming season. You can also use your voucher towards the purchase of your Little Athletics uniform.

However, there is an important step to remember: If you would like to use your Active Kids Voucher for your uniform, you must contact Little Athletics Victoria (LAVic) within 24 hours of completing your registration by emailing [email protected] and letting them know you have registered and would like to purchase uniform with the voucher. They will take details and you will collect your uniform from the athletics track on competition day.

Further details on how to apply for a voucher, or a reimbursement if you have paid but forgot to use your voucher can be found here: https://lavic.com.au/membership/get-active-kids-voucher/

So, if you’re registering your child and would like to use the voucher for both registration and uniform, please make sure you contact LAVic within that 24-hour period.

We hope this helps make getting your little athlete ready for the season a little easier!

Meet Mark, one of our newest committee members!

Mark’s passion for running began early with little athletics and junior cross-country. For him, the sport has always been about simplicity: putting on a pair of shoes, chatting with friends and learning new things along the way.

Above all, Mark cherishes the community side of athletics. Having supported his three daughters through little athletics, he now watches his grandchildren compete.

“It’s very rewarding to see the young athletes develop their character and skills with like-minded athletes. Running and athletics can give so much to our young community - I see our role as providing an environment for kids to give something a go and supporting them to grow through sport. Participation in sport can be such a gift to children which can stay with them throughout their life”
