Little Athletics ACT – Athletics in the ACT

We are the age-patch sponsors across all age groups (having initially started in the junior ranks).

Through Little Athletics, athletes can develop the skills of running, jumping, and throwing in a fun and social environment. The emphasis for young children participating in physical activity should be placed on self-improvement and learning social skills to help address important issues such as child obesity, self-image and esteem. The nature of Little Athletics encourages and requires parents to also be involved in the sport.

Little Athletics has 100,000 children involved nationally and over 3,000 in the Canberra region.
