Aspley Little Athletics

We hope you all enjoyed Father’s Day and had a wonderful day with your families! 💙

Week 2 training schedule is now live! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

A few important reminders for the week:

⏰ Training times:
U6–U8: 5:30pm–6:30pm
U9–U17: 5:30pm–7:00pm

🚫 There is no Wednesday training for U6–U7.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Little Athletics is not a drop-and-go sport. Please remain at the fields while your child is training. Your presence and support are important.

🌱 We also need a few extra hands around the fields. There are always little jobs that need to be done during the week, and maintaining our fields for our athletes is an important job that is carried out entirely by volunteers.

If you have some time to lend a hand, please let a member of our committee know. Every extra pair of hands makes a difference! 🙌

Thank you to all our amazing volunteers and families for helping make our club such a great place for our athletes. ❤️💛

🏆 HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! 🏆

To all the dads, grandads and father figures cheering from the sidelines, driving to training, carrying the gear, giving the pep talks, celebrating every win and surviving every loss — today is YOUR day!

You’re the MVPs, the biggest supporters and the ultimate team players. 💪🏽🏃‍♂️🏅

Have a cracking Father’s Day! 🎉

You’ve earned the gold medal today! 🥇❤️

When you arrive:
✅ Visit the committee/team to sign in
✅ Collect your volunteer vest
✅ Head to your allocated age group bucket and help our meet run smoothly!

Important: We will be using the volunteer registration portal to track volunteer participation for refunds next year. If you don't register your volunteer hours through the portal, we won't be able to verify your participation when it comes time to check eligibility.

If you can arrive a little earlier to help with set-up, or stay behind to help with pack-down, that would be fantastic! Every extra pair of hands makes a difference. 💪

🧹 FIELD EVENT PACK-DOWN

If your age group is the last group using a field event, please help pack down the equipment and return it to the shed if it is safe and practical to carry.
