Welcome to Caloundra Little Athletics
Caloundra Little Athletics successfully caters for all children from the inexperienced participant who wants to learn and have fun while practising their athletic skills, to the more talented athlete that is looking for competitive experience and to develop their athletics.
Athletes compete weekly at our Caloundra Centre Friday night competitions and there is also a wide variety of LAQ supported opportunities for athletes: State Level Competitions; selection into the Under 13 State Team, National Under 15 Camp and/or the New Zealand Development Tour.
We provide opportunities for parents too. Those who have an interest in athletics can attend various Officiating and Coaching Courses to achieve Officiating and Coaching Certificates. Or they can join the committee and learn management and organisational skills.
Older children/siblings or ones with less interest in competition are also supported through our CAPS Program. These children are guided through a series of Steps, which allow them to and develop confidence and leadership and attain Certificates in areas such as First Aid; Officiating; and Coaching.

PRESENTATION AFTERNOON IS ALMOST HERE!
HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT JOINING THE COMMITTEE FOR 17/18
Caloundra Little Athletics Committee is a great chance for you to shine!
The last few years that Angie and I have been part of the committee have been some of the best years ever! Sharing a burger or a 'snag' with fellow committee parents and watching our children all kick a footy or have a laugh with each other is a huge highlight to end with on a Friday night,
We actually DO serious work - but its nothing too strenuous and is always completed in a fun and friendly atmosphere.
This next season 17/18 will be a big learning curve for us, as this will be the last year many of our faithful 'year-in-year-out' parents will have thier last and youngest child, graduate and complete their Little A's careers.
Cheers and thanks for an awesome year! - Paul Clues (outgoing Centre Manager)

Huge Congratulations to you all - PLEASE LET JANE MOORE KNOW BY FRIDAY 17th FEBRUARY, that you will be attending the State Championships, as she needs to confirm registration numbers. Due to a registration mix up at regionals (which unfortunately meant some of our Caloundra athletes missed out participating - we apologise for this processing error) it is very important that all registrations and payments for these types of events go directly through Jane.
Please note the Caloundra Little Athletics Committee approved to pay the nomination fee for all the athletes who qualified to proudly represent Caloundra at the State Championships - Congratulations again!
