Woolgoogla Little Athletics play host to a wide range of running, jumping, throwing and walking events at Solitary Islands Sportsground, Centenary Dr, each Tuesday afternoon (4:30pm - 6:15pm) during the summer sports season.
Little Athletics is for FAMILY, FRIENDSHIP, FUN, and FITNESS!
Family
Little Athletics is more than a sport. It is a community-oriented organisation that enables the entire family to do something together. Parents are involved in the program as voluntary helpers or officials. They share in many experiences with the children. Little Athletics provides a vital communication bridge between parent and child. This link can have benefits far beyond the years spent in the centre.
Friendship
Little Athletics fosters an environment to create friendships with other people who share a similar interest as you. Athletes may make new friends with people at their schools or from other schools.
Fun
All children like fun…all children need fun. The weekly competition provides fun through participation in an enjoyable sport, with friends in the same age group.
Fitness
A fit body can mean an alert mind and a decrease in the incidence of many physical ailments.
Combined with FAMILY involvement… FITNESS can be…FUN and a great place to foster FRIENDSHIP in the happy environment at Woolgoolga Little Athletics!
