Huon Valley follows the Tasmanian Little Athletics Association mission statement, which is:
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 competing in under 6 (children who have reached the age of 5 by the 30th of September in year of competition) to under 15 athletes, with events being conducted on a Saturday morning with occasional Wednesday evening events. The Season usually commences on the first Saturday in October each year.
The motto of FAMILY, FUN & FITNESS is to the forefront when competition meetings are held. Parents, brothers, sisters and grandparents share the action.
Parents are required to assist in the running of events to enable competition to run smoothly.
Each week there is a set program of events including running, jumping and throwing. As each Athlete completes an event their results are recorded and then printed on a ticket. These tickets are available the following meet from your team manager. These tickets are used to gain a variety of awards.
