Sprints- 70m, 100m, 200m Distance - 400m, 800m, 1500m Hurdles - 60mh, 80mh, 90mh, 100mh Walks- 1100m, 1500m
Field
Jumps- Long jump, triple jump, high jump Throws - Shot put, discus, javelin
On Track
Many Centres also conduct the On Track program for Under 6 to Under 8. This program has been designed to cater for young children who are developing their motor skills at different rates and therefore have a large variation in their athletic abilities. The key to the On Track program is for each child to develop one skill before moving on to another skill. Encouragement, enjoyment and accomplishment in a positive environment are other important aspects of the program.
Cross Country
During the winter a number of Centres operate a Cross Country season with distance events ranging from 500m for the young runners through to 4km for the older athletes.
