| U6-U17: | Each Friday evening begins with any important announcements. Before the announcements, the athletes are to meet behind the buckets for their age group located on the oval. The athletes must wait for their Age Manager before being taken to their various events throughout the evening. Weekly program will be available at the information desk along with a copy in the Age Manager folder. |
| Tiny Tots: | Each Friday evening Tiny Tots will meet behind the bucket for their group located on the oval. Tiny Tots then head out to the western side of the oval to complete various activities such as running, jumping, throwing (in a modified form), taking into consideration the developmental stage and requirements of such young children. The program encompasses games and activities that have been designed to prepare Tiny Tots for their introduction to athletics in the U6 age group. The program will concentrate on gross motor skills. |
| Age Managers: | We have a regular Age Manager for each age group. We are always seeking new Age Managers and if you are able to assist please speak with the Age Manager Co-Coordinator, Liz Stockell. The Age Manager requires helpers who know what happens from week to week to assist with organising the group. Before each night commences the Age Managers meet with the Age Manager Coordinator to collect their age group folders, safety vest and be advised of any information for the night’s competition or upcoming events. |
| Uniform: | All children must wear a centre uniform with registration numbers and age numbers. |
