Competition

Every Saturday, we gather at Ern Clark Athletics Track in Cannington, to compete with five other clubs.

We follow a rotating schedule of three programs (see below), which typically run from 7:30am to 11:15am, though times may vary. While it’s not required for children to participate in every event, we encourage them to take part in as many as possible.

How Saturdays work:

  • Arrive by 7:15 am to help set up tents with our club. We all gather on the grass hill, so bring a chair to sit on.
  • The Announcer will call different age groups to various events at different times. Pay attention to announcements for your age group. Participation in events is optional.
  • The day continues until all events are finished. Afterward, we pack up and head home.

There is a canteen on-site, and usually a coffee van as well. Once you have finished your parent duty, you’re not required to stay , although we generally all pitch in to help dismantle and pack away the tents.
