To enable the timely running of events and to keep the registration fees to an acceptable level, we require the help of parents on Saturday mornings to set-up equipment before competition starts and then also at the conclusion of events to breakdown the equipment for storage. A weekly roster of age groups will be provided to assist in this task.
When the club competes at inter-club, Regional or State competitions, athletes are required to wear the Centre uniform, which consists of our CMLAC singlet and red shorts. These items will be available for sale on Registration Night and each Saturday morning. The singlet is $25 and the shorts $15. It is not a requirement that it be worn on Saturdays, although we do encourage them to be worn, and it can solve the problem of what to wear!
Each athlete is given a result book at registration. This book has spaces to stick the result tickets as well as diagrams showing how each event is done.
Victorian Little Athletics Association insurance covers all registered little athletes from their date of registration. This also covers parents and officials in all centre, division, region and state competitions as well as training activities and travelling to and from venues.
Protests will not be accepted. Any concerns or suggestions put forward in a reasonable manner through the Arena Manager will be investigated on the day, with a view to avoiding (if possible) a recurrence of the problem.
The results of all events conducted during centre competition are recorded.
All centre records must be verified and signed by two club officials at the time of the record to become official.
Athletes may only compete in their appropriate age group. Times, records and personal bests are used to calculate actual centre performance, which is only possible when results are recorded for the proper age group.
Australian Little Athletics is committed to providing a safe environment for all participants by ensuring affiliated Associations develop Risk Management policies covering the following areas:
