Tiger Wests Little Athletics Centre is the place to be for young athletes in Sydney! If you're looking for a fun and active sport for your child aged 4-16, then you've come to the right spot.
Our aim at Tiger Wests is to promote 'Family, Fun & Fitness', and we do just that with our exciting athletics competitions. Every Friday evening from September to March, the Wyatt Park Athletics Oval in Auburn/Lidcombe comes alive with the energy and enthusiasm of our young athletes.
The action kicks off with the younger age groups finishing around [finish time for younger age groups], while the older age groups wrap things up between [finish time for older age groups]. You can expect a range of running races, jumps, and throws events to keep everyone entertained. As our athletes grow older, the distances, types of implements, and challenges change to keep them challenged and engaged. On average, athletes compete in 4–6 events each week.
If you're keen to join us for the upcoming 2023/24 season, you can easily register through the Little Athletics NSW website. We've even got a handy registration guide available to help you along the way. Registration fees are $150 for U6-U17 athletes and $100 for our Tiny Tots. These fees cover insurance, entry fees to most LAANSW championships, awards and trophies, coaching, and equipment.
When it comes to attire, we ask all athletes to rock their Tiger Wests uniforms with pride. Be sure to attach your Little Athletics numbers too, so we can keep track of everyone's achievements. As for footwear, proper shoes are a must, and a jacket or long pants are always a good idea in cooler weather. To stay comfortable and protected, bring a water bottle, hat, and sunscreen as well.
We all know that Sydney weather can be unpredictable, so in case of rain, make sure to check our Facebook page for updates on competition. As for parents, we kindly request that you stay during the competitions and lend a hand in running the events. We love to see parents supporting their children as they compete and providing any necessary assistance. It's also important that at least one parent remains at the venue at all times in case of injury or cancellation due to wet weather.
Results for all events are recorded in ResultsHQ, which we use to calculate the end of season award winners. And if you're interested in additional training sessions, we often offer them for certain age groups every second week after the school holidays. Keep an eye on our website and social media for updates on this!
So, mark your calendars and get ready for a fantastic season of athletics at Tiger Wests Little Athletics Centre. We can't wait to see all the enthusiastic young athletes in action and create memories that will last a lifetime. For more information, be sure to visit our website and stay connected on social media. Let's make this season the best one yet!
