Knox Little Athletics Centre Inc.

Does your child love racing around the backyard? 🏃‍♀️

Whether it’s running longer distances, sprinting as fast as they can, or leaping over the couch like it’s an Olympic hurdle (we see you parents! 😉), athletics has something for everyone – and this weekend is the perfect time to give it a go!

Our Come & Try Day runs from 10:00am – 12:00pm this Saturday 20th September

Try and come a little early to get set up and ready for a big morning of fun.

💛 Current Knox members – we’d love for you to join us! Wear your club singlets and help us welcome new families into our amazing Knox community.

🟡 New Chief Officials – this is also your chance to get hands-on experience. If you missed Chief Official Day last week, come along and get involved – plenty of support will be there on the day.

📋 Modified A Program for the Day:
Here’s a sneak peek of what’s happening:

• U6 & U7: 70m, Long Jump, Vortex
• U8 & U9: 70m, Long Jump, Discus
• U9 & U10: 70m, 800m, Shot Put
• U11 & U12: 100m, 800m, Long Jump, Discus
• U13 & U14: 100m, 800m, Long Jump
• U15–U17: 100m, 800m, Long Jump

(The 800m may be run as a single combined event depending on numbers.)

☁️ And if the weather looks a little ominous – don’t worry, we’ll still go ahead. We won’t make the kids do the steeplechase, but we’ll get creative to make sure everyone has fun, meet some of our wonderful coaches, and connect with other kids at the centre.

✨ It’s all about getting active, making friends, and having fun as a family. Whether your child loves to run, jump, or throw – there’s something for everyone. We can’t wait to see you at the track!

We’re so excited to welcome all our new and returning Little Athletes back for another amazing summer of fun in the sun at Knox Little Athletics! ☀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Chief Official Training is on this Saturday the 13th at 10:30 AM.

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from experienced past Chiefs and get a real feel for how things run on competition days.

If you haven’t yet heard from your club team managers, you will soon! This is one session you won’t want to miss!

Why become a Chief Official?

• ✅ Confidence – you’ll be guided through each event so you feel comfortable and capable.
• ✅ Knowledge – learn how everything runs and how to support the kids effectively.
• ✅ Flexibility – Chiefs enjoy a more structured calendar over the summer, making it easier to plan your weekends.

You’ll also get hands-on experience with the many different roles that bring a little athletics meet to life. Everything from calling athletes to the start line, recording results, and ensuring events run smoothly.

Whether you’re brand new to officiating or simply want to refresh your skills, this training will show you just how much teamwork, energy, and satisfaction comes from being part of the action. You’ll leave feeling confident in a variety of roles and knowing that you’re a vital part of making our meets a success.

Please note: You will be required to hold (or willing to obtain) a Working With Children Check.

We look forward to seeing you this Saturday at 10:30 AM—come ready to learn, ask questions, and step into the role with confidence!

👉 If you’re not able to make this Saturday, please reach out to your club managers to work through alternative dates.

Thank you!

A huge thank you to all of our volunteers who give their time and energy to make athletics possible. Your support ensures our kids can compete, learn, and have fun every week. We couldn’t do it without you.

Help Us Open Knox to More Athletes!

We’re excited to invite all members to an extraordinary meeting at the Knox Athletics Track Pavilion on Monday, 18th August 2025 at 7:30 pm.

At this meeting, we’ll be voting on an important change to our constitution – introducing a brand-new Affiliate Membership.

What is an Affiliate Member?

An Affiliate membership will allow athletes from other centres to train with our Knox-appointed coaches during our allocated training times.

This means:
✅ Access to our incredible facilities
✅ Coaching from our highly skilled and supportive staff
✅ A chance to bring more athletes and families into our vibrant community

Membership would run September–August, with fees proposed between $50–$100 (final fee to be set in consultation with members).

Why Your Vote Matters

To make this happen, we must have at least 30 adult members present to form a quorum, and we need your YES vote to bring this exciting initiative to life. Without enough members attending, we’ll sadly need to delay this until next season, and we’d hate to miss the opportunity to grow our centre and share it with the broader athletic community.

Join Us and Shape the Future

We’d love for every parent to come along, support this initiative and help us make Knox even stronger. Your presence and your vote will open the door for more athletes to experience the incredible community, coaching and facilities that make Knox so special.

📅 When: Monday 18th August 2025
🕢 Time: 7:30 pm
📍 Where: Knox Athletics Track Pavilion, Bunjil Way, Knoxfield

Let’s make this happen together! 💙💛
