There are Little Athletics clubs throughout Tasmania and on the mainland. Some are small, like St Helens, while one of the Launceston clubs has over 300 members. Regional and statewide competitions are held in Hobart, Launceston and on the North West coast.
Where and when
Our venue is Sandown Park in Lower Sandy Bay. Take the turn off towards Nutgrove Beach on the left just before the shops.

Thanks...
...to those parents who have been helping out above and beyond the normal call of Saturday morning duty. Step forward please, Craig Proctor, who has recently designed and built the club a hurdles trolley, greatly speeding up the process of moving hurdles from storage to the track. Belated thanks also to Mark O'Conor who built the covers for the long jump pit extension.
Also thanks to all the parents that have helped out at the barbeque in recent weeks. Our thanks again to our new sponsor Get Smart I.T. Solutions for providing the aprons.
