The Little Athletics Association is an Australian concept with over 100,000 children participating each year throughout Australia. In South Australia we have close to 6,500 athletes and over 60 Centres and clubs throughout the state.
The Plympton Little Athletics Centre has been providing a fun recreational activity to the community for more than 20 years with an average registration number of 150 athletes.
The Little Athletics Association has a Motto: FAMILY FUN & FITNESS
We cater for young children and teenagers of varying abilities ranging in age from 4 to 17 years, providing a healthy and rewarding activity that develops coordination, balance and motor skills. These skills benefit future or existing sporting activities.
Each week the athletes compete in 5 events (rotated each meet) depending on the age group and receive a booklet to keep track of their achievements. Age group is determined by age as from 1 October 2007.
Plympton Little Athletics encourage children to participate with a major emphasis on personal improvement not the aspect of winning.
Little athletics is based on family participation as parents are a part of the sport by assisting in all activities hence our major Award from the Volunteer Involvement Program.
During the season we provide canteen facilities. Fun meets & novelty meets.
If you are not sure if this is your child’s activity then why not come and try for one meet, all it will cost is $3.00 per child (insurance fee) and if you decide to join, then the $3.00 comes off the fees. Come and have a go: RUN, JUMP & THROW
