31/08/2010 LAVic/AV XCR'10 Sandown Road Relay Championships

The XCR’10 LAVic/AV Cross Country Road Relay Championships were held at the Sandown Racetrack on the weekend. Many thanks to Knox LAC organiser Mike Kerr who arranged the many Knox teams to compete. There were many former Knox LAC athletes competing in the AV Senior competition too. Congratulations to all who competed which helped the Knox Centre win the inaugural Cross Country Road Relays Trophy.

24/08/2010 Registration Day & Try-Out Day 

With the Cross Country season now completed, the Centre now turns its attention to the upcoming Track and Field season. The first major day of the T&F season is Registration Day which will be held at the track on Saturday, September 11th from 9am-12noon. Athletes who competed at Knox LAC last season will shortly be receiving a letter with further details on Rego. Day and the season.  Apart from all the clubs being represented there will also be reps from Youth Athletics for those who wish to do Youth Aths or find out more information. New athletes will need to bring a birth certificate or proof of age to complete their registration.  Credit card facilities will also be available. 

All registering athletes will go into a draw to win a “Photovideo Certificate” donated by the Knox LAC Photographers. The winning athlete will be photographed by Knox LAC photographers during the season and at the end of the season the athlete will be presented with a personal Photovideo presentation and photo CD. You need to be in it to win it so ensure you register as a Knox LAC athlete to have a chance to win. 

For those who are not sure what Little Athletics is all about and would like to have a try, come along to the Try-Out Day on September 25th from 9am-12 noon.  Most of the events will be operating and you can have a run, throw and jump. Registration facilities will be available on the day.

 01/08/2010 Junior Development Squad Applications

Below is information from Little Athletics Victoria on applications for the JDS 2010-2011 season.

The 2010-2011 JDS applications are now open. However there is a major change this year with the registration process.

All registrations will be through the clubs online system. There are two methods of payment, either by credit card or manually by cheque, however both methods still require the applicants to send in their proof of qualifying performances. This year the Centre is not required to sign any forms or check any performances, this will be done by me once the registration has been submitted online.

The website has a new tab called Education & Training, where all of the courses, clinics, seminars and information for Coaches, Athletes and Officials will live. Additionally JDS appears on the latest news section on the homepage and shortly there will be a button on the left hand side of the homepage for quick access to the registration portal.

Last season JDS was a huge success, with many athletes benefiting from the experiences learnt during JDS sessions. We believe this can be achieved again this season, however your assistance in promoting JDS is vital in ensuring our athletes have these great opportunities.
