Some general information for Little Athletics registrations

Registration Day is being held on Sunday, 21st August 2011, at Dunbar Park, Sobraon Road, MARSFIELD between 10am and 2pm. If it is raining on 21st August, please check this website for more information
No registration is complete or valid unless the full payment of fees has been made. NB. In accordance with LAANSW policy, as stated in their registration declaration, registration fees are not refundable. Families who are unsure about whether to register should carefully read the "Can I try your sport before I register?" section below and consider trialling Little As.
If you are a new registration, you must provide Proof of Age before we can release your registration number. An original birth certificate, passport, notification of birth or hospital blue book are all acceptable forms of proof.
Remember that the age group you are in is determined by your age as at midnight 30 September. For example, if you are 8 years old on this day, you will compete as an under 9 athlete. This ruling is strictly adhered to and we cannot put children in incorrect age groups.
Payments on Registration Day can only be made by cheque or cash as we do not have credit card facilities available.
We do not have internet access at Dunbar Park so we cannot confirm your online registration if you do not bring your invoice or receipt when you come to collect your books and registration number. If you would like your books to be ready for collection, please complete your online registration before 5pm on the day before you come to collect!

Can I register after the season starts?

Can I try LittleAs before I register?

Yes.Trialling athletes may compete at our Centre during normal Saturday competition at a cost of $10 per athlete per trial.

For insurance purposes, they will need to register online as a trialist or complete a full set of paper registration forms before competing.

They must bring Proof of Age and pay the trial registration fee. Payment at the track can only be made by cash or cheque (to RACI).

If a child wishes to register with us for the season after they have attended as a trialling athlete, their trial fees will be offset against the full registration fee.

These athletes (other than Tots) would then also be required to purchase the Centre uniform. Uniform costs and registration fees are not refundable.

Please note that results, records and attendances are used (amongst other criteria) to determine trophy eligibility for our registered athletes at the end of the season.

No results, records or attendances willbe recorded for an athlete until the athlete joins as a full member.
