Little Athletics with Yarra Ranges

Track & Field season – October 2025 to March 2026

First round of the Yarra Ranges Little Athletics 25/26 season will begin Saturday 4th of October 2025. New and returning athletes can sign up for the exciting new season closer to the time. We will announce this on our Facebook page when registrations are open.

Please join our Facebook page ‘Yarra Ranges Athletics Clubhouse’ for regular updates.

In summer, Little Athletics is held at Morrison Reserve Athletics Track from 8:45am-11:30am (approx.) on a Saturday morning. Athletes (under 6 to under 17) rotate through 5-6 events in their age group which are a mix of running, jumping and throwing.

Age groups are defined by the age of the child on the 1st of January. For example, children aged 8 on the 1st of January 2026 will be in the under 9 group.

Some coaching is provided and we encourage athletes of all abilities to strive for their Personal Best (PB). The focus of our athletics club is to have fun and learn as they go. Athletes will improve at their own pace in a supportive group under the supervision of age group leaders, coaches and club members.

Athletes have the option to run at other clubs open days, region and state events during the Track & Field season. We reward athletes for achieving 10, 20 & 30 Personal Bests (PB's) with medals during the season. At the end of the season all athletes who have participated in 50% of competition days will be awarded with a trophy at Presentation Day.

Come along and have a go!
