About Us - City North Little Athletics
Little Athletics began in Victoria 40 years ago and has since spread to all parts of Australia , with more than 100 000 children registered throughout the country.
Little Athletics is based on the philosophy of Family, Fun, and Fitness.
Family – Family involvement places a vital role in the success of Little Athletics.The children are given a greater sense of pride when they see their parents assisting with the program
Fun – The level of competition depends on what you, as a family, want to make.Some children compete only at their own centre, while others aspire to State and even National level.Each child should be encouraged to consider self-improvement as his or her personal aim.
Fitness – Little Athletics encourages physical fitness through weekly competition.It also encourages a healthy attitude towards winning and losing and the responsibility of the members.

Personal Bests
The Recorder keeps a record of each athlete’s performance in each event.As athletes improve their performances they will receive stars on their tickets to indicate their new personal best performances (PB’s).If an athlete achieves four PB’s on the same Saturday, they will receive a free drink from the canteen.
Simply present your four event tickets (with the stars on them) to the track recording table.You will receive a four PB’s card to keep, along with a ticket, which you present at the canteen to receive your free drink.
This encouragement reward is achievable for all athletes as the only person they have to compete against are themselves.
McDonalds Achievement Cards
At the completion of every event an athlete competes in at Kedron club competition, they will be given a performance ticket stating the time or distance achieved for that event.These tickets should be retained to enable your child/ren to keep track of their performance and see whether or not they are improving.
On sign on day you received a McDonalds Achievement Card, which is either Blue or Pink (boy or girl).
Results should be checked against the table of performances at the back of the McDonalds card to determine what level of achievement they are at.If a child reaches an achievement milestone, colour in the appropriate circle beside the event in the event levels section.
For example, if a child achieves the Red performance level the first time they compete in an event, then you colour in the Green and the Red event level circles.
When the child achieves GREEN, then RED, then BLUE event levels for all events in which the child competes, colour in the appropriate circle in the groups awards section.
As the child achieves all the Green, then RED, then BLUE Group Awards for all groups the child competes in, the child can hand in the card to the Centre Recorder at each of these levels and receive special achievement awards including McDonalds vouchers.
Centre Records
The Club recognises Centre Records. Only performances at City North Athletics Club competition days are recognised for Centre Records.
