This is what Little Athletics is all about
For 30 years, the TLAA - Tasmanian Little Athletics Association - has encouraged children to compete and strive for their personal best at running, jumping, walking or throwing events. Queenborough is based in Sandy Bay on a lovely grassy track at Sandown Park lined by trees.
Age categories range from 5 to 14 years, so U15 is the end of a Little Athletics career but for many, the beginning of club athletics. The season runs from October to March with State titles at the end of the season.
You don't have to be the fastest runner or the best jumper, because every individual has a goal. Times and distances are properly measured and rules fairly applied. There's also coaching and help available for most events.
