Well done to Steve, Claire & Rob for all of your hard work over the years

With the recent Government announcement of stage 3 lockdowns the Knox City Council has now advised that the track needs to be closed for all activities.
This means both the pavilion and the track, including individual use.

We understand this is frustrating, but please try & stay active. You can train in public parks, but with no more than two (2) people (unless all living under the same roof) & be careful

If you do not have a training program, talk to one of our coaches.

Stay Safe & Stay Healthy.

The Knox Little Athletics Club intends to hold its AGM on Monday the 27^th July 2020 at 7.30pm. (this was originally scheduled for the 27^th April but was postponed due to COVID-19.)

We will monitor whatever restrictions are in place at the time as far as numbers go, but we intend to go ahead even if we have to run it via Zoom.

Each club will need have at least one representative attend. As you can appreciate the whole COVID-19 situation is dynamic & changing almost daily, so details will be communicated closer the 27^th July.

The Victorian State Government recently announced a further easing of COVID-19 restrictions from the 22nd June, paving the way for the resumption of children’s sporting competition. LAVic is currently waiting on further detailed advice from Sport & Recreation Victoria on this.

In the meantime, LAVic is pleased to announce that our State Cross-Country Championships will be now be held on Saturday 22nd August at Lake Dewar Lodge, Myrniong. The qualification will be by direct entry, and the event will also include a ‘Virtual State Cross-Country Relay’.

All other details, inclusive of the registration portal, will be released in coming days. Additionally, the LAVic membership portal will be opening up again soon to accept Cross-Country memberships.

Further details on this will also be released shortly.

The Board of Management have received advice from the Knox City Council that the track can be opened again on a limited basis.

At this stage LAVic have not advised when coaching can recommence, so any Little Athletics members will be able use the track primarily for running by themselves or in small socially distant groups.

Please note the following:

For the immediate future entry to the track will be through the turnstile gate.

Social distancing requirements apply & careful attention to hygiene will be critical to the ongoing return to sport. 

Athletes will have to use their own equipment

Use of the Grandstand & Pavilion rooms is not permitted

Use of the Gymnasium is not permitted
