Saturday Mornings
We encourage all families to arrive by 8.15 am to allow enough time to settle in before warm up. The warm up session is run by our Senior athletes and starts at 8:20 am with the first events starting at 8.30 am.
After the warm up the athletes return to their parents, and await to be called to their first event. Corio LAC runs all events through a 3 week cycle, (All events available for each age group are spread across 3 weeks), so athletes will get a different set of events each week.
Little Athletics is run by volunteers and many helpers are required to be able to run the program. Parents are expected to help out. Each club has an allocated number of officiating duties which need to be allocated.
Each event will need a couple of parents to help out, (rake the sandpit, picking up shot puts etc).
