ACTLAA have updated the  D Level Officials Guide.  We urge all parents to familiarise themselves with this guide as it contains basic rules and  tips on measuring, timing and conducting events. The more knowledge  our volunteer officials(parents) have, the fairer it is for all our athletes.

What is Little Athletics?
Little Athletics aims to promote and foster athletics amongst young people, and to do                 this through friendly competition in a well-run, safe, enjoyable family environment.

We aim to develop the skills of the children in each new event and to increase their overall level of fitness. It is not a movement to identify elite athletes, although we do foster talent when it becomes apparent. What we try to do is encourage the development of skills and fitness in children of all levels of ability.

There is a place for everyone in Little Athletics.

Belconnen Wests Little Athletics Club (BWLAC) was established in 1972, and is affiliated with the Western District Rugby Union Club .
