Knox Little Athletics Centre Inc.

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! 💙💛

Former Knox Little Athlete and Australian racewalker Corey Dickson has made his mark on the international stage at the 2025 FISU World University Games in Rhine-Ruhr, Germany.

Competing in the Men’s 20 km Race Walk, Corey clocked 1:25:58, finishing 19th overall in a strong field. His performance helped secure silver for the Australian men’s team in the event.

This milestone follows years of dedication to racewalking, with Corey funding much of his journey himself. Representing Australia at a major international event is no small feat, and Corey’s success is a testament to his hard work and determination.

Congratulations, Corey — you’ve done us proud! 🇦🇺👏

We are reaching out to seek support for Corey Dickson, a former Knox Little Athlete (Wantirna) who has been chosen to represent Australia at the upcoming World University Games. This is a significant honour and a testament to Corey’s years of hard work, discipline, and dedication to his sport.

Corey’s journey started right here at Knox, where he quickly built a reputation as a determined and talented competitor at Knox Little Athletics. His passion for race walking has taken him to national and international stages, and now he has the opportunity to wear the green and gold on one of the world’s biggest university sporting platforms.

But this dream comes with a cost.

Competing at the World University Games requires self-funding for travel, accommodation, and training support. Corey needs our help to get there and do what he does best.

How You Can Help:
We are seeking donations—big or small—to help cover Corey’s expenses and ensure he can focus on his performance, not the financial burden. Every dollar will go directly towards helping Corey represent Australia with pride.

If you’ve watched Corey develop as an athlete or support our young sportspeople, now’s the time to show your backing.

You can donate via the Australian Sports Foundation using the link below.
