Welcome back to the second half of the season. Hope everyone had a wonderful christmas and new year break and we'll see you back on Friday evenings for our weekly meet.
We cater for girls & boys from 5 to 15 years of age, meeting once a week to have some fun and learn new skills. We also run a tiny tots program for 3 & 4 year olds. Our program starts at 6pm and usually finishes by 8pm. Children compete in five events each evening, including running, jumping and throwing. Need a sun safe summer sport; come along and give athletics a go!
Registration fees are $90 each for the first and second child, and $80 for the third child+ within a family. Tiny Tot registration is $35 each. No weekly fees are charged by the centre.
For enquiries, please contact Jo Verrenkamp on (0403) 162605 or
Janelle Csurhes on (0408) 765737.
This season we will be trialling the use of Teamer to notify parents of late cancellations due to weather. More information will be in the newsletter after the holidays, but the general idea will be we register your mobile and/or email with Teamer, and if a meet is cancelled you will receive immediate notification.
Congratulations to our most improved athletes for the 2010/2011 season. Each week points are assigned to athletes who improve on their previous best times in an event, and the winner in each age group is the athlete with the most points at the end of the season. This year we have also added an Overall Category for the athlete with the most improvement points over all age groups. Congratulations to the inaugral winners, Caitlin Jeffery and Nick Verrenkamp.
