About Us
Our Club
At Glasshouse District Little Athletics we provide athletics (track and field) events for children aged from 5 to 16 years. We also run a Tiny Tot program for 4 year olds* (conditions apply).
Our Season runs from September to March with weekly competitions taking place at Skippy Park on Friday nights. Events start at 5.30pm.
Little Athletics is all about family, fun and fitness. It is an enjoyable sport in which the whole family can become involved.
New members are always welcome at Glasshouse Little Athletics and children with any ability can join. We always look forward to seeing our existing members return each season as well.
