Greystanes Little Athletics

🧡💙🧡 Important Update for Tomorrow's Athletics Session! 🧡💙🧡

Please note that athletics is going ahead as scheduled tomorrow!

Unfortunately, council was unable to mark all the lines for our track due to broken equipment. To ensure everything runs safely and smoothly, we will need the support of all parents:
➡️ Listen carefully to instructions from committee members throughout the day.
➡️ Help direct athletes to their correct event locations and starting points.

While this is an unforeseen complication, we can still have a great, seamless event tomorrow if everyone works together and lends a hand.

Thank you for your understanding, flexibility, and ongoing support—see you all bright and early tomorrow!

🧡💙🧡LITTLE A’s IS BACK 🧡💙🧡

We can’t wait to see everyone back on the track this Saturday! Please arrive at 8:20 AM for an 8:30 AM start.

If you need to pick up your registration numbers or uniform, please arrive around 8:00am. This gives us time to have everyone ready by start time.

As we kick off another great weekend of sport, here are a few important reminders from our introductory booklet:

➡️ Family Activity, Not Child-Minding: Little Athletics relies on active family involvement. Parents or guardians must be in attendance and assisting. Please note: If a child does not have an adult present, their event results may not be recorded.
➡️ We Need Your Help: Our events only run smoothly when parents jump in to assist with supervising, recording results on sheets, measuring throws/jumps, organizing starting lines, and keeping kids safe.
➡️ Run by Volunteers: Our club is completely run by parent and family volunteers. Please be patient and respectful—with so many events happening each week, moving through all age groups takes time.
➡️ Safety Around the Track: Stay mindful of active event areas! Always look before crossing track lanes or throw zones, and never walk through the timing gates, as this interferes with the electronic results.
➡️ Positive Encouragement First: Focus on fun, personal improvement, and personal bests (PBs). Whether an athlete comes 1st, 2nd, 6th, or 8th, every effort deserves a cheer!
➡️ Presentation Day Eligibility: A friendly reminder that all end-of-season awards and trophies require a minimum of 70% attendance at Saturday competitions.

Thank you for your ongoing support in making our meets safe, organized, and fun for all our athletes. See you Saturday morning!

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Working with Children Check (WWCC)

To ensure the safety of our young athletes and meet Athletics NSW guidelines, Greystanes Little Athletics requires all volunteers to submit their WWCC details.

Our goal is to have at least 2 parents per age group fully WWCC-cleared to assist throughout the season, in addition to all committee members, coaches, and officials.

Please take 1 minute to complete our submission form:
