25.01.2022 The Saga continues. No events this weekend and no training on Wednesday due to COVID lockdown. Keep watching for further updates.

24.01.2022 One step closer to a new season. Council has just permitted access to the sports field as of tonight. We are hoping the weather is fine enough on the weekend to start line marking and checking all our equipment. Online registrations have not yet opened but should happen very soon.

23.01.2022 Today’s program (16th Jan) is cancelled due to ongoing rain. Clubrooms will be open until 9:15am for anyone wanting information or help with registration. cheers Dave

22.01.2022 Hopefully able to tick the last boxes to resume Athletics. Stay tuned for more news in the next couple of days.

19.01.2022 Registrations are open and we are keen to get back into action. Returning athletes please use the email link provided (please do a renewal not a new registration). New registrations should go to LAVic.com.au and follow the prompts for new membership (free trial is a good way to start) Training Starts Wednesday night 5-6pm (not Tuesday nights as possibly still advertised in some places). Sprint track is now line-marked ready for use (thanks Peter). If you are having trouble wi...th registration or have some questions we should have some time to assist. As the track is a public park when there are no booked events, you are welcome to use the track at other times. Saturday competition starts Nov 21st. Please try and come early as there will be new requirements before we can commence. Officially warm-up starts at 8:45am ready for a 9am start, but officials must be allocated before we can start events. Please be aware of the COVID requirements. All adults and children over 12 must have masks. Sanitizer will be provided. Athletes are encouraged to bring their own labelled drink bottles. Athletes must have a parent/guardian present, but no additional spectators at this time. Please be patient as we adjust procedures to meet the new requirements.

19.01.2022 Still a few little items to complete before we can take registrations.

18.01.2022 Program for 13th Feb Cancelled. Due to no officials available because of Regional Competition and other personal appointments we have had to cancel the proposed program for 13th Feb. (this would have gone ahead if Regional was cancelled). Training will still be held Wednesday nights 5-6pm, and will focus this week on registered regional events.

18.01.2022 Thanks everyone for a great start to the season despite this year’s challenges. We are now having a break for Christmas and will recommence in January. Next training We’d 6th Jan, and competition Saturday 9th Jan. Reminder that new athletes are welcome to join anytime, and can participate at 2 events as a trial without commitment to sign up. Have a great Christmas, and see you in the new year.

18.01.2022 Reminder training resumes tonight 5-6pm Wed 6th Jan

12.01.2022 Looks like it should not be too long now until we can restart. More planning in the background, finalizing COVID plan, and attempt to get the green light from council. Expect this will still take a couple of weeks, but there is finally some hope.

11.01.2022 Back up and running, with minimal restrictions now. Masks no longer required outside, so long as we stay distanced. Spectators are allowed outside the track. Saturday 8:45am Wednesday 5-6pm training

10.01.2022 SEASON KICKS OFF TODAY, Sat 21st Nov Don't forget masks for adults and athletes 12 years old or above. Please arrive early for all the new sign-in requirements... The following is a link to an article in the Journal, with photos from training on Wednesday night. https://dandenong.starcommunity.com.au//little-athletics-/

09.01.2022 Almost ready to restart. Registration portal is not open yet (very soon now) but some of us are planning to go to the track on Saturday (weather permitting) to check equipment and start line-marking. The track is a public park so all are welcome, but you need to follow COVID restrictions. There will be no athletic events this weekend, only preparation of track and equipment. Any new athletes are welcome to pop in and ask questions. Just look out for the Dandenong uniform. I expect to be at the Centre 8am-10am regardless of weather. Dave.

07.01.2022 Competition program resumes today Sat 9th Jan. We are restarting early to help make up for the late start.

04.01.2022 Well done to our athletes at regional competition. Many PBs. Proud of you all.

03.01.2022 Set up ready for Regional Competition at Murrumbeena. Wishing our athletes well.

02.01.2022 Back to normal program after COVID break. Saturday 20th 8:45am competition Wednesday 5pm training (focussed on region events)... Saturday 27th 8:45am Saturday 27th & Sunday 28th region competition for those already registered (changed date but same venue - Murumbeena) Wednesday 3rd 5pm training Friday 5th Twilight competition (not Saturday)

01.01.2022 For those that may not be familiar with Little Athletics please be aware that it is designed for developing all kids, not just those that are high performers. The focus is on personal improvement rather than the best athlete. That said, some former athletes from Dandenong have gone on to represent Australia or progressed to profession sport. Given our year of restrictions, there is added importance this year to encourage healthy exercise. Please consider if Little Athletics m...ay be the way for your kids (or others you know) to make new friends, have fun, and gain a healthier body. Still waiting on final COVID requirements before we can restart the season.
