22.01.2022 A huge THANK YOU to Olympian Sprinter and local champ, Monica Brennan for delivering our recent special training event under our Women's Mentoring and Leadership Program. Despite the heat, our athletes were captivated by Monica's stories about her aths journey so far and couldn't wait to participate in the skills training which was perfectly pitched to our little athletes. Our athletes also got an opportunity to wear Monica's RIO Olympics tracksuit top which was a huge hit an...d great photo opportunity for our athletes and parents alike. Check out the photos and videos during the special training event.

22.01.2022 How many volunteers does it take to make little Aths fun? A lot. Well, definitely less than 500 especially under COVID Restrictions, however, the saying ‘it takes a village’ absolutely applies to little Aths. We’re really lucky at Diamond Valley to have many skilled volunteer Chiefs and Officials, many who just can’t pass up the opportunity to share the joy of family, fun and fitness despite having adult children who’s little Aths journey is a distant memory, yet it’s our par...ents and guardians who get the opportunity to volunteer as helpers and share in the rewarding experience and seeing their children develop important social and motor skills during our weekly competitions. THANK YOU to all our volunteers for the amazing job you do at Diamond Valley Little Aths! Oh and the vests are washed and ready for Saturday! Go Team DV!

10.01.2022 Meet Molly. She is a super fan of Diamond Valley Little Aths and while she wears our colours with pride, she unfortunately can not attend our weekly competitions Little Aths is always a lot of fun during our weekly competitions yet with the hype of activity as our athletes and volunteers hurrying to get to their next event, it is unsafe for our members when pets become overwhelmed and anxious by this rush. For the safety of our athletes, please note dogs are not allowed dur...ing our weekly competitions (with the exception of registered assistant dogs). Molly does enjoy the occasional trip to Willinda Park when there is no competition in progress.
