Open Days
Little Athletic Centres throughout Victoria conduct Open Days at which all registered athletes may compete. Correct Centre uniform is to be worn to all Open Days. Click here for more information about open days.
Multi Event
Athletes compete in five events gaining points in each event (using LAVic multi event points table) All five events must be competed in to have completed the Multi Event. If one event is not competed in, that athlete will be deemed ineligible to win any award. Trophies are awarded to the winners of each age group with medals for second and third. Where there is only one competitor in any event, the trophy will be forfeited if a reasonable performance is not given.
Region Relay Championships
Teams from eligible children in Under 9-17 who would like to compete, are selected from the entry forms that are to be filled in and handed to your Club Team Manager prior to the closing date (which is written on the entry form). We endeavour to place all children completing the entry form into a team. Any athlete wishing to take part in relays, must make sure they will be available to run at Region level and State level if that team qualifies. Region heats are held at Melton with State finals at Casey Fields.

Athletes have the opportunity to progress to the State Championships at Casey Fields.
