We’re looking for some amazing parents, grandparents, or family members to join our fantastic team of volunteers and help our Saturday competitions run smoothly, safely, and efficiently. These duties replace your normal parent duties 🙂

We currently have a few rewarding volunteer opportunities available:

➡️ Track Safety Officer/s

This is a new role designed to further enhance safety for our athletes, volunteers, age managers, and officials. Track Safety Officers will help ensure that only authorised people are on the track and that athletes can safely enter and exit competition areas. It’s a great way to make a real difference while being close to the action.

➡️ Announcer/s

We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers who would enjoy being part of our announcing team on Saturday mornings. Working alongside an assistant, you’ll help coordinate and announce events throughout the day. This is one of the most important roles in Saturday mornings and plays a key part in keeping the program running smoothly. It’s also a fun and rewarding way to be involved in the excitement of competition day. Did we also mention there’s air conditioning? A welcome perk on those hot summer mornings!

➡️ Setup crew

Two teams of awesome humans on a rotating fortnightly basis to assist our SLA crew in setting up for our competitions on Saturday mornings, starting at 6am and finishing 7:30/7:45am - just in time for the action to begin! Set up crew is a sought after position as it allows families to get their fortnightly duty done and dusted before events start, allowing more time for spectating, socialising and hitting up the bbq. It’s also one of the shortest duties so it’s a win-win. No experience required.

If you’d like to get involved, or simply find out more about any of these roles, we’d love to hear from you. Please send us an email at [email protected].

Every volunteer makes a difference, and we truly appreciate the support of our wonderful Little Athletics community 🩵🤍🖤

⏰ ONLY 2 WEEKS TO GO! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💨

The countdown is officially on! In just two weeks, we’ll be back at Waratah Oval for another fantastic season of Little A’s! 🩵🖤

🌱 The only grass athletics track in the Sutherland Shire
🤝 A fun, friendly and supportive club
🏃 Supporting athletes of all abilities to achieve their best

📅 Season starts Saturday 12 September
👟 Tiny Tots commence Saturday 19 September

Don’t leave it until the last minute - REGISTER NOW! 🩵🖤

LOOKING FOR A CANTEEN ASSISTANT! 🍬🍭

Our wonderful Cate does an incredible job keeping the SLA canteen running smoothly each season, with the help of our fantastic parent volunteers - and we’re thrilled that she’ll be back again this season! 🙌🏼

This season, we’d love to find a CANTEEN ASSISTANT to work alongside Cate and help with the running of the canteen.

This is a fun, social role, and a fantastic way to become more involved in our Little A’s community 🩵

You don’t need canteen experience - just a willingness to help!

If you’ve been thinking about getting a little more involved at SLA, this could be the perfect role for you.

Interested? We’d love to hear from you! 🩵🖤🤍
