East Maitland Little Athletics

🍔🥧 THE CANTEEN IS OPEN TONIGHT! 🥤🍫

Make sure you swing by the canteen during club night — we’ll have hot food, cold drinks and plenty of snacks available!

🔥 Hot food includes:
• Pies
• Sausage rolls
• Chicken burgers
…and more!

📣 HOT TIP: Pre-order your hot food when you arrive so you don’t miss out later in the night.
There’s nothing better than dinner at the track while the kids compete! 😋
See you tonight! 💙💚

🎉💙💚 GET READY FOR OUR FIRST CLUB NIGHT OF THE SEASON! 💚💙🎉

This Tuesday 8 September, we officially kick off the 2026/2027 EMALAC season and we can’t wait to welcome all of our returning athletes — and plenty of new faces — back to the track!

⏰ 2026/2027 START TIMES

👶 Tiny Tots: 5:00pm–6:00pm
🏃 U6, U7 & U8: 5:30pm start
🏃‍♀️ U9 & above: 6:00pm start

Please arrive with enough time to get organised and have your athlete ready to begin at their scheduled start time.

✨ TRIALLING

Thinking about joining EMALAC but want to give it a go first?

Trialling will be available during the first TWO weeks of the season only.

⚠️ Please note there will be NO trialling available for Tiny Tots or U6, as these age groups are already at or very close to capacity.

📋 WEEKLY PROGRAM

Keep your eyes peeled on the Stack App over the coming days for the release of our first weekly program, along with additional information for parents to help everyone get ready for club nights.

It’s nearly time! 🙌

Bring on Tuesday nights, friendships, new skills and plenty of PBs.

Welcome to the 2026/2027 EMALAC season!💙💚

UNIFORM & PATCH REMINDER – PLEASE READ

With the new season almost here, here’s a handy guide showing the correct placement of your athlete’s registration number and Coles age patch on their competition uniform. 💙💚

⚠️ An important reminder for ALL athletes:
Your athlete’s EMALAC uniform, Coles age patch AND registration number MUST be worn every week when participating in our Tuesday night club competition.

Please make sure everything is attached and ready to go before our first competition night — these aren’t just for carnivals or representative events, they are part of your athlete’s weekly competition uniform.

📍 Patch placement:
🔹 The McDonald’s registration number is worn on the centre front of the singlet or crop top.
🔹 The Coles age patch can be worn on either side of the singlet or crop top.
🔹 All registered athletes, including Tiny Tots, must wear their registration number.
🔹 If space is limited on a crop top, the registration number may be resized or the red border folded, provided the required information remains visible.

📲 Save this image so you have it handy when getting your athlete’s uniform ready!

Uniform ✔️ Age patch ✔️ Registration number ✔️
All three, every week! 💙💚

We’re very excited to introduce our first Event Partnership for the 2026/2027 season!

Our new Event Partner program is about connecting local businesses with the events our athletes love, while creating additional support that goes directly back into opportunities for our young athletes.

💙💚 MORE THAN JUST ATHLETICS… 💚💙

At EMALAC, our athletes come to the track to run, jump, throw and chase PBs — but some of the best things they take away from our club can't be measured with a stopwatch or tape measure.
It's the friendships they build.

The teammates cheering from the sidelines.
The encouragement after a tough event.
The excitement when a friend achieves a PB.
And learning that being a great sport is just as important as being a great athlete. 💙💚

Whether your child dreams of competing at the highest level, wants to improve their skills or simply wants to get active, make friends and have fun, there's a place for them at EMALAC.

🏃 Running
🤸 Jumping
💪 Throwing
🙌 Teamwork
💙 Friendships
🌟 Confidence

Registrations for our 2026/2027 season are OPEN NOW!
