The Australian Little Athletics Championship (ALAC) is a State/ Territory teams event for the Under 13 Age Group, and an individual multi-event championship for the Under 15 age group. Athletes will be selected by the LAACT following the LAACT Championships. Athletes wishing to be considered are required to meet a number of pre-qualification requirements. These requirements will be provided to athletes in these age groups during the season.
Towards the end of each season, the Centre Championships are conducted for all Weston Creek registered Little Athletes. These are usually held over three or four Saturday mornings (but may need later re-scheduling depending on weather conditions). Continue reading WCLAC Championships→

Fiona served on the Redbacks’ committee in a number of positions, including secretary and vice-president for many years. Being highly organised, innovative and dedicated, Fiona was, in many ways, the life-blood of Weston Creek Little Athletics over 10 seasons. During this time Fiona was a key member of the team that oversaw the construction of the second synthetic long jump and the introduction of the club’s new uniform.
In addition to being a committee member and age manager to her daughter’s age group, Fiona was the Centre’s officer of officials. Fiona was also a key member of the committee which organised the Redbacks’ 35th anniversary dinner and the 2014 Southside Regionals carnival.
Fiona’s efforts and dedication to the Redbacks will always be greatly appreciated.
