Little Athletics Program

Registrations are now open for the summer season!

Watch our promotional video to find out more about what we do at Hamersley Athletics.

We promote family, fun and fitness! Parents are required to stay and participate with their child/ren. Parents are required to help with things like training and helping on competition day. There are lots of easy things you can help with even if you are inexperienced and help is always available!

Join one of our five local clubs who conduct training and then compete at Hamersley Athletics Centre every week (training only membership also available).

Kidsport

The government has announced an increase to $500 per child for eligible families (generally those with a Health Care Card). Families with Kidsport vouchers can register online and apply the voucher code to pay for their family’s registration.  https://kidsport.dlgsc.wa.gov.au/kidsport/apply-for-kidsport-2019-1/

A Kidsport voucher code will deduct the amount of the voucher from the total and allow you to pay the balance (if there is one!)by credit card.  You will notice this option on the right side of the payment screen.  Families will still need to email a copy of the Kidsport voucher to your Club Registrar after you have completed your registration to complete your registration.

Inclusion

Hamersley Little Athletics are able to accommodate children with a variety of ability levels. Talk to us as to how we can accommodate your child, including any particular requirements they may have. Email: inclusion@hamersleyathletics.com.au if you need further assistance.

The Little Athletics Australia Inclusion Hub also has lots of resources for parents, coaches, officials and volunteers.

We promote the “TIM”

The “TIM” or True Inclusion Method is a Little Athletics Australia initiative to promote inclusion and recognise the achievements of all athletes. The TIM results is right there alongside the traditional result in your ResultsHQ profile. It ranks each athlete according to how much they improve their PB (personal best) for that event. It a great recognition of individual effort and can give a sense of achievement to everyone regardless of ability.

Rosters

Little Athletics relies on our volunteers for our competition to run smoothly and is a fantastic opportunity for families to participate together. Families choose a roster duty as part of the online process.  Families are free to choose any available roster that suits their circumstances; if you are new to Little Athletics there are plenty of easier options as well as training and support available as your progress.  Read more.
