'To develop children of all abilities by promoting positive attitudes and a healthy lifestyle through family and community involvement in athletic activities'.
Huon Valley is part of Tasmanian Little Athletics, which is part of an Australia - wide organisation which provides modified athletic track and field events for children between the ages of 5 years to 14 years, with events usually being conducted on a Saturday morning. The Season usually commences on the first Saturday in October each year.
Huon Valley Little Athletics has several affiliate clubs, including Cygnet, Geeveston and Huonville. (Click on the appropriate link for more information about your local club.)
The motto of FAMILY, FUN & FITNESS is to the forefront when competition meetings are held. Parents, brothers and sisters, grand parents etc share the action. Parents are voluntary helpers in activities ranging from long jump, timing or judging track events, and recording results of events.
Each meet we run a set program of events. As there are so many events in running, jumping and throwing, there are three programs and so the full cycle is completed every three weeks. As each Little Athlete completes an event he/she receives a result ticket showing the time taken or distance thrown or jumped. The ticket is then placed in the athletes ticket book which is provided on registration.
