Registration and Covid 

There have been new rules set in place for the return to little athletics. As we run in NSW we need to adhere to the rules set in place for NSW centres as directed by LAVic.

​

The current rules are:

​

Until December 1st (providied the government doesn't change the rules before) All adult attendees, volunteers and children age 16 and above need to be fully vaccinated. Proof of your vaccination status will be required upon entry when you QR code in.

​

Children aged 15 years and under may participate in little athletics, however they need to be supervised by a fully vaccinated adult.

​

After December 1st, according to the NSW road map, all community sport will open up to all fully vaccinated as non vaccinated people.

​

NO drop and run scenario please as part of the LAVic policy all children need to have a supervisor.

​

Our centre is affiliated with Little Athletics Victoria (LAVic). This means that LAVic take a portion of our membership fees in order to operate. In regards to their refund policies and covid they are currently working on putting a policy together, however it is not yet available.

If you have registered your child prior to the announcements of the covid rules and wish not to continue your membership. Please contact Little Athletics Victoria and discuss your options.

​

TRIAL ATHLETES

Reminder that if you are a new to little athletics, you need to register as a trail athlete. By registering this way, you are not committed to paying anything until your two trials are up and you are covered by LAVic insurance.

​

RETURNING MEMBERS

When you fill in your returning membership you are prompted with an invoice and an option to PAY NOW or PAY LATER. You can opt to PAY LATER. You will receive a reminder to pay from LAVic prior to the season commencment. As long as your membership is paid prior to commencement of EMLAC, your athletes details still get processed into our system. This is another option that may help with the uncertainty of Covid and commencement dates at the moment. This way you are not paying your membership until you know the centre is definitely commencing.

​

Our own reassurance is that the season will commence this year - it is just dependent on when due to the government restrictions. It will be a case of the season possibly looking a little different to normal seasons - but we will have a season non the less.

​

If you have any question at all, we are always happy to help and discuss your concerns. So please don't hesitate to contact us if you need to.
