Little Athletics is a uniquely Australian sport for children 5-16 years. As the name suggests, it is based upon the sport of athletics (track & field) and the events are specially modified to suit the ages and abilities of children. A wide range of running, jumping, throwing and walking events is conducted.
Little Athletics is the Foundation for all Sports. It offers young people activities and skills that will stand them in good stead for their sporting future.
Cassowary Coast Little Athletics has been established since 1997. We have produced many National and Australian Champions over the years and are very proud of our very active club. We hold club nights at Castor Park, Mourilyan, 10 minutes from the Innisfail business district.
Club nights are held each Friday night, Warm up start at 5.45pm and run until approximately 8.30pm, so it leaves your weekends free and children out of the sun.
Children aged 5 years to 16 years must produce their birth certificate on registration and the season runs from approximately April - October, the winter months. Children will do approximately 5 events each club night.
Parent's please be aware that you must actively participate each club night by way of helping the club run for your child to be registered, really easy jobs to do, everyone helps and makes the night run really smoothly.
