Little Athletics South Australia

Little Athletics South Australia Official Little Athletics South Australia page. The emphasis is placed on participation and personal improvement.

Little A's, as it is affectionately referred to by those who enjoy it, is not really about winning, but about having fun, making friends and getting families involved in healthy activities. It is little surprise then, that the motto of Little Athletics is: "Family, Fun and Fitness". Little Athletics recognises that children vary widely in shape, size and athletic ability, and is thus one of few sp

orts that successfully caters for them all. Each year across SA, approximately 8,000 boys and girls enjoy the activities that Little Athletics has to offer.

Everyone has a place in athletics.

Today, more than 20 athletics organisations from across Australia have united to launch the Athletics in Australia National Participation Plan — a shared roadmap to grow, connect and strengthen our sport for the future.

The vision is ambitious. By 2034, we aspire to see 5 million Australians participating in athletics each year, and a vibrant membership base of 200,000 athletes, coaches, and officials.

From Little Athletics to Masters, school carnivals to fun runs and run clubs, trail running to coaching, officiating and volunteering — it’s all a part of athletics.

Every age. Every stage. Every ability. Every background. Every purpose.
