Knox Little Athletics Centre Inc.

This week is National Volunteer Week, and in the spirit of Your Year to Volunteer, Knox Little Athletics would like to thank all of our wonderful volunteers who give their time, energy and support to our Centre.

Your Year to Volunteer is about honouring the contribution of volunteers and encouraging people to get involved in ways that work for them. At Knox Little Athletics, volunteering is what makes our Centre possible.

A special thank you to all of our families who commit each week to volunteering at our Centre. Whether you assist with parent duty, set up and pack up equipment, help at events, coach, officiate, manage results, serve on committee, cook the BBQ, support cross country, or simply step in when help is needed — every contribution makes a difference.

Our volunteers help create a safe, welcoming and supportive environment where athletes can participate, improve, make friends and be their best. Through volunteering, our families build connection, strengthen our community and help create lasting positive change for our athletes.

To all our current and past Knox Little Athletics volunteers — thank you. Your time, effort and care are greatly appreciated.

As we celebrate National Volunteer Week and the theme of Your Year to Volunteer, we encourage all members to consider how they can get involved. Big or small, every role matters.

Thank you for helping make Knox Little Athletics a great place for family, fun, fitness and community.

Following the recent Knox Little Athletics Annual General Meeting, the Centre is seeking a member to step up and consider taking on the role of Secretary on the Executive Committee.

This is an important position within the Centre and is also a requirement for Knox Little Athletics to remain properly incorporated and continue operating as a Centre.

The Secretary role helps support the effective running of the Centre, including committee administration, meeting coordination, correspondence, records and governance requirements.

Our Centre relies on volunteers, and this is a great opportunity for a member to contribute, support our athletes and families, and help keep Knox Little Athletics moving forward.

If you have benefited from the work of volunteers over the years, now may be the time to get involved and give back.

If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Centre President Jess Dux.

💛🖤 Knox Little Athletics is only as strong as the volunteers who support it.

To ensure our Cross Country program runs safely and successfully each week, all families are required to assist with Parent Duty throughout the season.

🏃‍♂️ To be eligible for End of Season Awards, athletes must have a parent/guardian complete a minimum of 3 parent duties during the season.

✅ Duties must be signed up for and completed through the Volunteer Sign Up Portal.

Parent Duty is essential to:
• Set up and pack down courses
• Marshal athletes safely around the course
• Assist with timing, results and event operations
• Support a successful experience for all athletes

Without volunteers, events cannot run.

Thank you to all families who continue to support Knox Little Athletics and help make our Cross Country season possible 💛🖤
