ABOUT US
The club was formed in the1970s
by parents interested in the concept of being involved
in their childrens' sport by actively promoting family,
fun & fitness.
This concept has seen the club
grow from a humble beginning to creating a sporting
facility many previous members would be proud of.
The club actively promotes sportsmanship
& consideration to others in all aspects of its
operation.
LOCATION
Neegulbah Park

COMPETITION
Competition is held each Friday
afternoon from September to March, commencing at 5.30
pm.
The 1st 4 weeks of competition
is a modified version of 4 events per age group, then
moving onto a full event night competition as set out
below.
U/6-U/12 has 5 events each competition
night while U/13-U/15 has 6 events. The events are held
on a 4-week rotation, allowing for a mix of events each
night and covering all available events within each
rotation.
A schedule of events is available
at the back of the yearbook.
To be eligible for any major
award at our club an athlete must compete in a minimum
of 66% of all available events for the season, from
the date of their registration.
POINTSCORE
Because the Committee believes
emphasis should not only be on winning, a point score
system was devised to recognise those children who continually
improve their own performance.
Points are awarded for:
- 1st, 2nd, 3rd places in each event
- for a personal best (PB) distance or time (within
each season)
- for breaking a club record
Points are not allocated until
an athlete is registered.
POSTPONED COMPETITION
If the normal Friday afternoon
competition is cancelled due to the ground being unfit
for use or any other reason deemed necessary by the
Committee,a decision of cancellation will be made no
later than
4.00 pm
