This website aims to provide parents and athletes with information about Little Athletics and the activities of the Dapto Centre. Through this it is our hope that you will have a better understanding of all aspects of the Centre. Little Athletics is a family sport - everyone should be involved. Our aim is to encourage children to participate in sport and improve themselves, within their own abilities, whilst creating friendships. Children love to run, jump, throw things and have a good time with their friends! At Little A's the emphasis is on fun and participation. It is also a great way to develop basic skills in running, jumping and throwing, for children who wish to go on to compete in Athletics.

Our Centre is based at Dapto High School. We have excellent facilities and well maintained equipment. Our season will commence September 2023 and finiishes March 2024. Our weekly competition is held on Saturday afternoons for September and October, and then moves to a Thursday evening for November to March.

To register at our Centre, our youngest athletes need to be at least 3 years old, and our oldest Athletes must be born in 2007. For a list of events conducted at our weekly competition, click on the "weekly program" tab at the top of this page. Our very young athletes do the traditional track and field events as well as some novelty events at our weekly competition.

WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECKS/POLICE CHECK - AGE PATRONS ETC

Our Centre requires all Committee members, Parents and Centre Coaches to undergo Working With Children Checks/Police Checks prior to volunteering/working with any of our athletes.

Yes - to register your child to compete, you will need to complete this process! This does not require you to be an age patron. Our 2023 roster will have you following your children to their events and helping Committee members whist watching your child compete.

For volunteers, the working with children check process is free and very easy. Just click on the link below and follow the prompts.

Once you have submitted your application on-line, you will need to attend Service NSW to have your identity confirmed. You will then receive a Working with Children number by email. Provide this number and photo identification to either the President or Officer For Officials of the Dapto Little Athletics Centre. (This can be done on Registration Days for the upcoming season). Don't delay! Get started today! http://www.kidsguardian.nsw.gov.au/…/working-wi…/apply/apply
