Come and Try Participant Information
Come along and join in the fun of Little Athletics with two free 'Come & Try' sessions! We offer athletes 'Come and Try' (C&T) sessions, for a maximum of two session attendances, before committing to the season. It is compulsory for families to first complete an online Come and Try registration through the SALAA portal https://salaa.org.au/come-try/
Before you attend
C&Ts must register online prior to attending to be covered by insurance. If help is needed to register your child as a come and try athlete, please don't hesitate to ask one of our friendly committee members such as our Registrar Greg.
Important information
- The child's event times/distances will not be recorded as a C&T athlete, but are able to join in all the events with the children of their age group. C&T athletes do not earn points towards centre or club awards and will not be credited any official results until the athlete is registered as a paid member.
- An athlete will join the relevant age group during the two C&T sessions and is not required to wear the official shirt / singlet.
- Each week the child will complete 4-5 events as per the weekly program. Parents will be expected to accompany their youngest child to each event. C&T tiny tots must have a parent present at all times for the hour. C&T parents will not be rostered for volunteer duties
- C&T athletes will be given a sticker to apply to their shirt so that the officials can identify who is a C&T athlete indicating either week 1 or 2 athlete. This is a requirement of SALAA policy.
- Please ensure that you bring a hat, drink bottle and wear appropriate clothing and footwear that is suitable for running, jumping, throwing and participating in any activities that might be included in the program.
