THE WAIT IS OVER, THE 2023/2024 SEASON STARTS TODAY!!

Program #8

The GGLAC Committee would like to welcome all our returning families along with all our new members and those wanting to Come and Try Little Athletics.

We expect this week to be very busy and have staggered our start times to help with the congestion. Come and try athletes and all tiny tots will commence at 8.45am and for all returning members competition will start at 9.45am. Please note that this staggered start time is only for home meet #1 this week and #2 next week.

We ask that you arrive early, especially if you need to collect membership bags, purchase uniform or have any questions.

To help everyone, here are some tips:

Registered Season Member – You need to be registered online prior to 5pm Friday the night before the Home Meet and you will be able to collect your Membership pack prior to the start of the meet. You will then be able to go to your age group basket to sign in on the results sheet in the folder.

Uniform– We will have uniform available for sale and you can pay with cash or use our EFTPOS facility. Don’t forget to save waiting in the cue you can per order uniform from our online store.

Come and Try Participants – If not already registered, you will need to be registered online prior to 5pm Friday the night before the Home Meet. When you arrive we ask that you head to the come and try table where we will sign you in and place you in a group. There will be coaches and committee members around to explain how little athletics works and answer any questions you may have. Children need to wear closed toe shoes (sneakers/trainers) and suitable clothing to run, jump and throw (no singlets). Please ensure they also have a water bottle and are sun smart (hat and sunscreen).

Child safety – We would like to remind everyone that an adult must remain at Tilley reserve during the competition, we refer to our Parent participation policy. Ideally you will be able to help out in the age group with the running of the events by retrieving the shot/discus, spiking, raking sand for long/triple jump or returning the bar at high jump. By being involved you are able to support and cheer on your child as they participate.
