What level of ability does my child need to be to join?
Our emphasis is on Family, Fun and Fitness. Children can join with any level of skill or fitness. Children are given plenty of encouragement to improve.


When is training?
We have training usually once a week (day to be confirmed) for all ages at Greygums Oval, Cranebrook. Training will consist of fitness/strength work and basic athletic skills. We also hope to have some of our senior athletes come along to assist the younger athletes with some specific event instructions (i.e. shot put, discus, long jump etc). Keep an eye on our Facebook page for training updates.


What happens if it rains?
Please refer to our Weather page for more details. Keep up to date via our Facebook page for wet weather announcements.


Will my child be taught the correct technique or have access to coaching?
Little Athletics NSW conducts coaching clinics and camps at various venues and times throughout the season. Cranebrook Little Athletics also have coaches or parents who offer training session/s during the week. Skill development instruction is given on Friday evenings.
