Back to Program 1 this week.

Weekly reminders:
🖤 Be ready to start at 545pm for our warm up
❤️ Bring a jumper
🤍 kids need an adult with them when going to the toilet

🖤 Please keep kids from walking through the starting gates, and remind kids to not touch the gates when running through. This causes a lot of errors with our timing of races.

Thanks to those families that shared some pictures from Festival of athletics on the weekend.

Another great carnival for our Ross River athletes!

What a great opportunity for any of our 13+ multi class athletes.

The Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS) Para Unit will be headed to Townsville next month in conjunction with the Challenge Games - looking for aspiring athletes for the 2032 Brisbane Paralympic Games.

As part of this trip the Para Unit will be conducting a Para specific testing session supporting the opportunity of connecting people with disability to sport as well as identifying local talent.

We would encourage ANY person with a disability - whether an aspiring athlete or simply someone who is curious about sport to register their interest to be involved.

Key Details:

Registration closes 19th July.

Testing Date: 28th/29th July – Townsville

ANY 13yo+ with disability is welcome to EOI (this includes those older than 18 – they don’t need to be attending the challenge games to register)

No sporting experience necessary.

You can register for an EOI here: YouFor2032 Para Sport Testing Expression of Interest Form > https://qasport.jotform.com/261467781179874
