Round 1 Season 2019/20

Round 1 - this Saturday 5th October

A warm welcome to our new members and welcome back to our returning members!

We kick-off Season 2019/20 with Round 1, this Saturday the 5th October.

Thanks to our coaches for their time and expertise on Coaching Day - we had a good turnout and hope our Athletes picked up a few new skills to prepare them for a great season. Congratulations to everyone involved in our Come & Try Day which also had a fantastic turn out with lots of new kids trying Mentone Little Athletics for the first time.

Another big thanks to Thomas Mogensen for his fantastic work preparing our handbook again this season - thanks Thomas! Click here to view online.

Note that these duties are separate to allocated Parent Duties, but essential to the running of our sessions.  Don't forget to allocate your Parent Duties as well.

Returning members, please note that there are no free trials for you.  Please ensure you are registered and paid before coming down on Saturday.

Information for New Members

Please make sure you register online before you come along on Saturday.  Click here to register, and note that you can choose not to pay and have 2 sessions as free trials. Once you are sure you wish to continue, please pay online as soon as possible to give us time to print your chest patches.  Chest patches help keep the session running smoothly (and are compulsory).  Look for an email from Little Athletics Victoria (LAVic) with details on how to pay your registration fee after you register without paying.

A scan/photo of birth certificates or other proof-of-age can be sent to mentone@lavic.com.au.

Your age-group is based on being "under" the age you turn this year.  If you turn 5 this year, you are Under 6.  If you turn 13, you are Under 14.

U6-U8 Athletes, please arrive at 8:15am. Your session will go until 10am. U9 and older please arrive at 9:45am and expect to finish around 12:30pm. Assemble on the grass near your age-group sign to meet your Team Manager when you arrive.

Uniforms are recommended but not compulsory at our regular sessions at Mentone.  If you don't have a uniform, comfortable sports clothes will do.  Please also bring hats and drink bottles.  Uniforms will be on sale in the clubroom.

If you have questions or need help registering please come along extra-early and see Lalani or Cameron in the clubroom or any of our Committee members in their black polo shirts. There is also more info on our FAQ Page and Parent Duties page.
