The Age Group managers and assistants are fundamental to the success and efficient running of the Saturday morning competition. The Age Group managers act as administrators, mentors and where qualified, coaches to the same group of athletes each week. Each age group has a roster of activities that is to be filled by parents/ carers in conducting events. Age Group parents/ carers are also rostered on in accordance with the Season Calendar to assist with equipment set up and return and in the canteen.
Don’t worry if you do not know how to assist, as there will be people to show you what to do and provide advice. One of the main aims of Little Athletics is for families to enjoy a morning together and your children will love you being there.
