Camberwell Malvern Little Athletics Centre (CMLAC) is open to all children aged 5-14 years. All children compete for fun, fitness and family enjoyment and are encouraged to participate in events in a positive manner, regardless of their athletic capability. CMLAC seeks to develop new skills leading to personal satisfaction and enjoyment.
Little Athletics takes place on Saturday mornings from October through to March, excluding the Christmas holiday period.
There is a low-key come and try morning on Saturday October 4. Normal weekly competition begins on October 11.
The venue is Kooyong Park, McAlpine and Righetti Ovals, Glenferrie Rd, Kooyong, (Melways 59 D3). Warm-ups begin at 8.45am.
Events start at 9am and finish shortly after 11am.
You can register your child on-line via this link Register - but we strongly recommend that new members wait until after October 11 just to make sure their child is eager as it is extremely difficult to refund once a payment is made.
