📣 *A LITTLE PATIENCE PLEASE 💙💛*

As we head into the start of our new season, we’re asking all our Browns Plains Little Athletics families to please be patient and understanding over the next few weeks.

We are currently navigating the cross-over between winter sports and the start of our Little Athletics season, which can mean some of our athletes, officials and volunteers are juggling multiple commitments.

To ensure we can provide a safe environment for all our athletes, there may be times when we need to:
🏃‍♀️ Combine age groups
🏃‍♀️ Modify the competition program
Or
👥 Make changes based on the number of athletes and volunteers available

Our priority will always be the safety and wellbeing of our athletes and volunteers, while still making sure everyone gets the opportunity to participate and enjoy their athletics.

We appreciate your patience, flexibility and support as we get the season up and running. 💙💛

Thank you for being part of the Browns Plains Little Athletics family!🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ **WANT TO GET MORE INVOLVED AT LITTLE ATHLETICS?** 💙💛

If you’re a parent or caregiver who would like to be a little more involved and help make our Saturday mornings run even smoother, these **Introduction to Officiating Workshops** are a fantastic opportunity! 🙌

You don’t need to be an athletics expert — it’s a great way to **learn more about the events, understand how competitions work and build your confidence** to help out on the track.

The workshops are **FREE to register** and are a great stepping stone for anyone who wants to get involved and support our athletes. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

💙 The more parents who know a little more, the easier our competition mornings run! 💛

Check out the LAQ post below for the workshop dates and venues, and consider giving it a go!

**Every little bit of help makes a BIG difference to our club!** 🙌💙💛

📣 UPCOMING INTRODUCTION TO OFFICIATING WORKSHOPS

A number of free Introduction to Officiating Workshops are being held across Queensland over the next eight weeks thanks to Little Athletics Queensland

These workshops are a great opportunity for parents and volunteers to learn the basics of officiating and build their confidence in helping at weekly competitions.

If you're interested in learning more, these are great sessions!

🎟️ Try Outs
If you’re attending try outs, make sure to collect your wristband from Jacque outside the clubhouse before Orientation begins.

Athletes will be lined up outside the clubhouse in four groups:

We’ll start with a quick warm-up lap for all athletes.
All athletes will then meet at the 100m start line for stretches and their first event.
Groups will visit each event in the program.
At each event, athletes will practice how the event is run. Parents will be shown a demo and given instructions on the helpers needed – remember, it’s easy and fun!
