START TIME

Our competition days are on Friday nights.

Athletes are requested to be at Jack Eddy Oval on Friday nights at 5.30pm for a warm up. Athletes will then proceed to their age groups with their group chaperone and begin the first round of events on that weeks program at 5.45pm. 

​

ON TRACK PROGRAM
The On Track program is essentially an athletic skills development program that aims to provide children in the Under 6 age group with increased instruction, ample practice opportunities and ongoing motivation.

The program concentrates on teaching our younger athletes the fundamental motor skills of running, jumping, hopping and throwing in a non-competitive environment, whilst also focusing on active participation, learning and improving, having fun and experiencing excitement. By fostering friendships, decreasing the competition mindset and increasing prospects for learning, the program is able to deliver all the above essential aspects.

EMLAC run it's program for the U6 age group and some events for U7's where skill development is still a necessity, especially for safety.

​
