Little Athletics

 

Little Athletics Members will once again be invited to participate at the Bay Sheffield.

Under 12 and above registered Little Athletes will be offered the opportunity to compete in dedicated Little Athletic events.  Little Athletics events will be programmed on 28th and 29th of December 2024. A draft schedule can be viewed on the home page.

Entries will be via South Australian Little Athletics – Keep an eye out on their socials for registrations opening date.

DAY 1 EVENTS – 28th DECEMBER

  • 120m Boys Little Aths – 24 Athletes max
  • 120m Girls Little Aths – 24 Athletes max

DAY 2 EVENTS – 29th DECEMBER

  • 400m Little Aths – 24 Athletes max

The races will be all be handicapped. To improve handicapping, athletes’ times and information will now be sourced directly from SALAA and will include their best three times over the race distances of 100m and 400m and the venue where the time was run.  In handicap running, competitors start at different positions on the track dependent upon their ability. The handicaps are designed to even up the competition, so that the running is more fascinating and unpredictable, and gives everyone a chance. Should we received a sufficient number of entries the 400m race will be split into two races

Requirements for the event :

  1. Athletes must be attired in their correct full Centre Uniform.
  2. Athletes will need to report to the SAAL Administration tent (SA Athletics League), one hour before their race. At this time, the athletes will need to sign in for their race at the desk, warm up in the designated warm up area then collect their colours from the colours tent. The procedure will be the same for the finals.
  3. Footwear is compulsory and spikes are allowed – no more than 7mm. The race will be held on grass.
  4. Athletes may use starting blocks but they are not compulsory.
