Parent information

MLAC is run entirely by parent volunteers. By registering your child/ren you agree to assist in the running of Sunday competitions and the supervision of your own child/ren.

Please click here for the ‘How to Help at Little Athletics (SA)’ Handbook

The program we have constructed for athletes is varied and well balanced. They are expected to participate in all events at all age levels. Two programs are conducted, on alternate weeks, to ensure athletes can experience all events on a number of occasions throughout the season.

‘Come and Try’ Sessions

Families are welcome to attend Magill Little Athletics Centre for up to two free ‘Come and Try’ sessions. There is a requirement to register for these sessions (for insurance purposes) although no fee is charged. Please visit the SALAA Portal and complete all relevant details. Athletes will then be able to participate in competition for the day.

Where do your fees go?

Over one half of season fees are paid to SALAA. This allows the organisation to hold major events throughout the year, administer the association and insure all participating athletes and our equipment. The balance of these fees is used to administer the Magill club (including upgrading and replacing equipment and purchasing trophies and medals at the end of each season). We believe this represents excellent value for money.

Uniform

It is compulsory to wear the full club uniform.  Please note that this also includes the attachment of relevant registration patches and sponsor badges.

Uniforms can only be purchased from the Club at our home meets. All athletes, including Tiny Tots, must be registered and ‘in uniform’ to be able to compete in Little Athletics. (*Tiny Tot athletes only are able to purchase a plain gold coloured polo in lieu of the official Magill T-shirt)

Policies

Cancellation of Home Meets are rare. The preference of the Club is to adjust events so that athletes can participate safely. If necessary, the President will authorise cancellation of the meet and update this website by 8.15am on the day of Competition.

Events held at SA Athletics Stadium are organised by SALAA and follow their own guidelines and/or adjusted programmes.
