About Us

Our Mission
To provide a safe, supervised, family orientated sporting activity that promotes a fun and healthy lifestyle, for children of all abilities.

Our Philosophy
Little Athletics is all about Being Your Best. The emphasis is on fun, participation, achieving personal bests and getting involved with your family in physical and healthy activity, so it is not surprising that the motto of Little Athletics is "Family, Fun & Fitness".

Who Can Join ?
The Gawler Little Athletics Centre welcomes athletes aged from 3 to 17.
The age group is determined by the Child's age on the 1st October in the year the season commences. Tiny Tots must have turned 3 before they can register. An age group calculator is available on the South Australian Little Athletics Website or you can download a pdf version from our Downloads page. Centre Information

Family Participation
Little Athletics is a family sport. We require at least one parent remains on site during meets and coaching sessions, for insurance liability reasons.
During the meets, our Centre requires chaperones for each age group to supervise athletes, officials to conduct the events and helpers to carry out tasks, such as, measuring and raking jumping pits. Each family will be placed on a roster to assist with setting up meets and canteen ~ this way the work is shared amongst all families. Please honour your committment and arrange to swap with another family if you can't assist on your allocated date.
These are simple tasks that can be done by almost everyone, so leave the deck-chairs at home and get involved. Kids love to see their parents helping out.
