If you want to learn more about athletics for kids, ITLAS is for you!

The ITLAS course is designed to help participants become better placed to assist children to perform basic athletic skills. The course is great for parents, volunteers, previous Little Athletes and school teachers, who want to know a little more about the skills of the sport in order to help at Little Athletics Centres or prepare students for a school athletics carnival.

Participants will be shown the skills, drills, and activities relevant to the target age group of primary school age athletes.

The ITLAS is a non accredited practical course designed for Little Athletics and conducted on behalf of Little Athletics Australia- LAA.

Registrations are now open.

Event date: Sunday 6 November 2022

IMPORTANT - To qualify for a refund of your Parent Duty Bond, please ensure you have your name recorded when you perform your duties

Parents are required to perform duties to assist with the running of our sessions – we can’t hold them without you!

Parents sign-up duty roster

The Centre levies a fully-refundable parent duty bond of $60 per family in order to encourage parents to fulfil their parent duties. This bond is part of the registration fee and families are eligible for a duty bond refund after completing all duties for the season.

There are two categories of Duties that contribute toward your duty bond refund:

1. Equipment Set Up/Pack Up Duty and In-Session Parent Duties at Moorabbin Regular Competition Nights (our standard sessions)

Performance of either a duty during the session or helping with set up/pack up counts toward the duty bond refund tally. You must have your name recorded at the start of your duty session (or at the end of pack up) to ensure your contribution is recognised. For a normal season of 18 Rounds, the following number of duties are required per family:

Notes

• If you have children in both sessions, your family's requirement is the higher number of duties. For example, if you have 2 children, one in U7 and one in U12, you are required to perform 4 duties in total. Don't add the duties together.
• These requirements will be reduced if a season is shortened significantly at a ratio of approximately ¼ of available duty sessions for families with 1-2 members or 1/3 of available duty sessions for families of 3 or more.

2. Special Event Duties

Should your child participate in Regional/State events, you must also perform rostered duties for our Centre at those events. These duties are not counted directly toward the tally of duties for normal sessions, but they do need to be performed to qualify for the duty bond refund. The failure to nominate or complete duties at Regional or State events may result in the forfeit of your duty bond refund, or in extreme cases your child being excluded from competing.

Welcome to Moorabbin Little Athletics Centre.

Competition starts Friday October 6

We welcome new and existing members. We are a non-for-profit club operating for the benefit of local families, providing a high quality athletics program.

The program starts at under 6 (On Track program) and caters for children up to under 16's. Some of our older athletes go on to assist with coaching and starter duties once they have completed the program.

The athletics season runs from October until March, coinciding with the Victorian Little Athletics regional and state athletics activities. MLAC has many athletes who go onto to represent the club at regional, state and national levels.

We encourage parents to bring their kids along and have a try.  Our experienced coaches will spend time with families explaining the various activities and providing quality coaching to participants.

Eligibility

Age groups for the 2023/24 Season are based on how old the athlete is as of the 31st of December 2022.

Athletes turning 5 after Jan 1 (2019) must wait until they have had their birthday before registering (these new Under 6 athletes will repeat U6 in the next calendar season – 24/25).

Refer to the Age Group Calculator here to determine which age group your child will participate in for season 2023/2024.
