City North Little Athletics runs its club competition each Saturday afternoon from 1:45pm until 5pm.
During the season there is only a short break in December.
At the beginning of the season the club runs a four-event program for the first two weeks, but as athletes’ skills develop, the program extends to five events for the remainder of the season. The club offers a rotating program generally over a four-week rotation period.
A warm-up session starts at 1.45pm. Event marshalling for the first event commences at 1:50pm and the first event starts at 2:00pm.
It is essential that all athletes begin with this warm-up time
