Bike pants/tights must not go over the knee and boys must wear shorts over the top of the pants.
Bring a jumper as it can get cool later in the evening and bring a water bottle (and remember to take it home as well).
Can we use equipment if we aren’t actually competing?
No equipment is to be used unless participating in the official events.
If any equipment is damaged by inappropriate use, PARENTS will be asked to cover the cost of repair/replacement. Please ensure you keep athletes away from the equipment (particularly high jump and throwing equipment).
For Parents
How do I know if a Centre meet or coaching session has been cancelled due to wet weather?
In the event of unsettled weather, the decision to cancel or not will be made approximately one hour before the scheduled start time. We endeavour to give every opportunity for any inclement weather to clear before making a decision.
If we are able to make a decision to cancel earlier in the day then we will make a post on our Facebook and Instagram feeds.
My child has a disability, can they participate?
We welcome multi-class athletes at our Arana Little Athletics! Our goal is always to create an inclusive environment where barriers to participation are eliminated, ensuring that all individuals with disabilities feel welcomed and comfortable to engage.
For details on participating at Centre, Regional and State levels, visit the Multi-Class Athletes page on the Little Athletics Queensland (LAQ) website.
How do I record that I have volunteered?
Canteen and raffle volunteers will be recorded on our online signup registers. Volunteers for event support at our competition nights need to use their phones to scan the QR code supplied on the front of age group folders, and fill out the quick online form that loads.
What do I do if I believe an athlete has broken a Centre Record?
All field event records MUST be verified by a member of the Committee. If you think you have broken a centre record please ensure you obtain one of the Committee immediately to verify the measure.
All records need to be ratified at the next Committee meeting before becoming official. Only registered athletes are eligible for centre records. Once ratified these will be updated in Results HQ .
What do I do if I believe an athlete has broken an Away Record?
If you believe you have set a Little Athletics Away Record you must submit an application to our Centre via this link – Application for Ratification of Away Records

Where can I park?

The Old Boys (Football social group) will block off an area for their members. Please do not park in this area.
Does a parent/guardian need to be in attendance?
