Sponsorship opportunity! 🏅

We’re looking for a sponsor for our Tiny Tots shirts this season at CNLA!

Our 3 and 4 year-old athletes wear their shirts every Saturday across the 10-week program (Sept to Dec, plus a mini comp in Jan).

In our 25/26 pilot season, the club provided them complimentary for our youngest athletes as their first taste of athletics. A local sponsorship would help us keep this going for families in our community in the upcoming season.

If you or your business is interested in supporting local kids and grassroots sport, we’d love to chat about sponsorship option and recognition opportunities.

📩 Contact us at: [email protected] before 30 June 2026.

Get involved and be part of a fantastic weekend of athletics!

🚨 Email to disregard! 🚨

If you've received an email today about automatic registration renewals for the upcoming season from LAQ or Sport80, please feel free to ignore it for now!

It seems the registration system got a little too excited and jumped the gun before the centres were ready to open registrations for the 26-27 season.

We’ll let everyone know through our social channels and by email as soon as registrations are officially open and ready to go.

Until then, sit back, relax, and enjoy the off-season.

Thanks for your understanding - we expect that registrations will open in late July or early August for the upcoming 26-27 season, and we'll be in touch with all the details in the next month.
