Knox Little Athletics Centre Inc.

The Knox LAC Executive Committee at the recent Executive Meeting endorsed the proposed season calendar for season 2022-23. The season calendar can be downloaded below.

PLEASE NOTE: These dates are subject to change

At this point the Centre has set the calendar up as a normal season, albeit starting early. As most will be aware the track is due for upgrading this season. To get as many weeks of competition in at the Knox track we are also running competition through the school holidays.

The dates from December are shown in red as the times and location of competition may change as a result of the proposed track upgrades starting. We will be competing at Knox for as long as possible until Knox Council advises us of start dates for the works.

Once these dates are known we will be updating the calendar details as needed to complete the season. Any changes will be communicated as early as possible to minimise any disruptions to our season.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact a committee member.

For those that have been waiting for high jump training to start, training will start this Wednesday 31 August from 5pm to 6pm with Alan Louey.

For our younger athletes we will be running scissor kick training session during the early part of the season. We will announce some dates in the coming weeks.
