Little Athletics Program for Schools (LAPS)

While the Commonwealth Games are held in Glasgow, the Knox Little Athletics Centre invites schools in the Knox region to participate in the Little Athletics Program for Schools – LAPS.

The program involves an Athletics Development Officer (ADO) from Little Athletics Victoria and a representative from the Knox Little Athletes Centre visiting schools and conducting a modified athletics session.

The program:

  • Provides a fun packed athletics session for students in Prep to Grade 4.
  • Activities teach fundamental motor and athletics skills, that are age appropriate and caters for all ability levels.
  • Sessions are 45 minutes each, and limited to 30 students (one class) per session, up to 6 sessions per day.
  • Enables schools to create a direct link with the Knox Little Athletics Centre.
  • On successful completion of the program and after a copy of the school’s newsletter advertising Little Athletics is sent to LAVic, a free CD resource is supplied.

If you would like the LAPS to visit your school, please complete the booking form and send it to office@lavic.com.au. If you are a student wanting us to visit your school, you can print the form and hand it to your PE teacher.

For more information, please contact Claire Lillie (School Liaison Co-ordinator) on 0421 300 467.
