Trial and Information Day

14 Sep 2016 by Craig Furber

Sandringham Little Athletics Centre (SLAC) is back and we need you! The season kicks off with a trial day on Saturday September 17th at 9am with 100m, long jump and discus available. The season begins on October 1st and we want you signed up and involved. This year promises to be the most exciting in our history on the back on the amazing 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

The SLAC committee have been working hard to make Little Athletics even more fun for the kids this year building on the amazing initiatives of last year which included relays at the end of sessions, our Halloween relay evening, the multi-event round, the orange Jetstar round, the Relayathon for the Royal Children’s Hospital and our newly refurbished Centre Championships. This season we are partnering with Gecko Sports in an aim to make any downtime more fun for the children with two stations available to entertain the kids between or during events if there is any waiting.

This year is more important than ever to be involved. Changes are afoot at the Sandringham Athletics Track that are dependent on the strength of our club and that of our Athletics Victoria partner, Sandringham Athletics Club. We would love to have both you and a friend to come to SLAC this season to show the strength of athletics in the Bayside and its importance to not just the community but every sport as we continue to be the foundation to every sport.

Many of our former athletes have gone on to success like Taylor Hunt (Richmond FC), Angus Brayshaw (Melbourne FC), Chris Judd (Carlton FC) and Mark Ladbrook (Sydney 2000 Olympian) and we would love to see many more in all sporting fields.
