25.01.2022 Congrats Blaise Fitzallen on selection for ALACs, another of our unlucky athletes to miss out on an amazing experience.

25.01.2022 Check out our VC Charli Ross. Its such a shame she and our other athletes were unable to compete at this years ALACs. Keep striving to achieve your goals

25.01.2022 Good news guys all items are now ready to be viewed on our online shop. The polo shirt is for training and to wear to our meets when its too hot for the hoodie, not to compete in.

25.01.2022 Thanks to all our marvellous volunteers that make our club the great club that it is

25.01.2022 As the upcoming season is fast approaching we still need to fill a couple of committee positions. If we are unable to have these roles filled then we risk not ...being able to run the season. 1, Social Media Person 2, Canteen Manager 3, Records & Ranking (shared role) 4, VP (2nd person) Position descriptions are available by messaging our page or by email [email protected] We encourage everyone to get involved so we can provide our children with the best season possible.

24.01.2022 http://gdla.impressionpromo.com.au/ Online shop will be closing midnight tonight. Dont miss out.

24.01.2022 CENTRE CHAMPIONSHIP REQUIREMENTS The executive of SLLAC understand the challenges faced by many of our athletes as a result of our COVID-reduced season. Many of... you have missed meets in the early part of the season because of a conflict with other sports and, despite our best efforts, we know the calendar of events has proven a challenge with State meets scheduled the day after twilight meets at our track. As a result, if you can foresee any issue with regards to your child meeting the centre bylaw requirement for championship participation of 25 events and 2 x competed for each event, we ask you to provide a written request for an exemption, via email to the executive, for consideration by the executive at least two weeks prior to the Centre Championships (being COB 29th of January 2021). The athlete performance summaries are available on our website for you to review your child’s current eligibility. Each case for exemption from the rules rule CO10 of the SLLAC By-laws will be assessed individually. Consideration will only be given to those athletes who have made a genuine effort to achieve eligibility and proof of this will need to be provided. See more

24.01.2022 Entry details, start times & course maps for this weekends State Cross Country Championships are available on the Little Athletics Tasmania website (link below).... If you believe you have registered but are not showing on the list, please contact the Little Athletics Tasmania Office at [email protected] as soon as possible IMPORTANT NOTES: * No event will start before 11am. * Events may commence earlier than the estimated times above (not before 11am) but no event will start more than 30 minutes before the times listed above unless all registered athletes are present. * Registration desk for check in will be open from 10:15am. Athletes are required to check in at the registration desk at least 30 minutes prior to their race. * We will walk the course at 10:40am for anyone wanting to ensure they know which way they are going. Marshalls will be on the course to guide athletes as well. * There will be printed copies of the course maps available for viewing on the day. * Under 6 and Under 7 events are non-championship events and all participants will get a Certificate of participation. * Top 3 in each age group/gender (from Under 8 up) will receive medals and all others will receive ribbons. * Athletes are to compete in their Little Athletics Centre or Club uniforms (obviously name badges will have last years age groups on them). https://taslittleathletics.com.au/cross-country-details/*

24.01.2022 Dear South Launceston Little Athletics Centre families, Apologies for the long post, but for those that didnt receive the email, this is the letter sent to fam...ilies over the weekend. I would like to introduce myself as the new President of SLLAC. I am looking forward to meeting those of you who I am yet to meet and working collaboratively with each of you as we strive to provide the best and most inclusive athletics experience for every child. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing committee members and thank the new committee - VP Mel Wilcox, Secretary Nico Bird and Treasurer Kate Tucker for their work to date. We are all committed to ensuing that we can complete a season of Little Athletics in 2020/21 given the situation with COVID-19 and have been working hard behind the scenes to prepare as well as possible. At this stage, and subject to final ratification from Northern Tasmanian Athletics, we intend to begin the season on October 10 at 8.30am and will complete a 15-meet season. The full roster will be released as soon as possible. However, the pandemic has and will continue to provide extra hurdles for us to safely compete - it will require each and everyone of us to be patient, take extra responsibility, communicate effectively and work together to get the best outcomes. With that in mind, there are two serious matters I would like to address. The first is parent assistance and a reminder that everyone volunteers their time to deliver each meet. We currently have a number of positions that remain vacant on the SLLAC committee. Two in particular are paramount to SLLAC continuing to run as a professional and financially sustainable centre. The canteen in particular provides a large percentage of our annual income and without it we wont be able to invest in new equipment or celebrate the achievements of our children with medals as we simply wont be able to afford it. Our records and rankings official is also an important role if you want your child to continue receiving race times, field event results and details of PBs etc. We face the very real prospect of having to increase our centre fees or add a family charge to registrations if we cant fill these roles internally and need to outsource help. With that in mind, I am asking for volunteers to put their hand up to take on the following roles ( perhaps consider teaming up with a friend or club mate to complete the role together!): - 1 x Vice President - Records and Rankings - Canteen Manager - Publicity Officer - First Aid Officer - COVID Safety Officer There will also be a requirement for more people to become chief officials and learn how to help in areas such as starting and timing. I am available by phone on 0409861838 if anyone wants to discuss this further. The second matter relates to COVID-19. Despite our efforts, we have been unsuccessful in increasing the allowable number of people on the site beyond 500 at anyone time. This means we will need to officially count every entry and exit for every meet until regulations are eased further. Based on last years large registration numbers and to ensure we can comply with present government regulations, the following decisions have been taken by the executive. 1: Only two adults will be allowed per family. We strongly encourage non-competing siblings (except babies) to not attend. 2: If the 500-person capacity is reached, access will be denied. However, if there are athletes wishing to compete who are outside the gates, we will make an announcement asking non-essential adults to exit and make way for competitors and we ask for your assistance and understanding with this matter. 3: We will not be accepting visiting athletes from other centres this season. 4: We will not be accepting new athlete registrations or transfers of competitors from other centres this season. 5: Only siblings of existing athletes or those who completed Tiny Tots at our centre last season will be allowed to register in under 6. There will be no new Tiny Tot registrations unless they are a sibling of an existing athlete or completed Tiny Tots last season. 6: Athletes returning to the centre after an absence, for example an injury, will be registered at the discretion of the executive. 7: The centre reserves the right to reopen registrations based on numbers registered and paid for at the start of the season. 8: There will be on-site changes to allow for social distancing. - The grand stand will have a limited capacity and seating areas will be marked. - The ticket tent will be upstairs in the grand stand. - We will designate seperate marshalling areas for each event. - We have applied for a grant to be able to provide extra implements to allow for better hygiene procedures and we will also provide sanitisation stations around the facility. As you can see, there will be challenges and while we have done our best, there will no doubt be issues to deal with along the journey. These changes will mean that voluntary parent assistance for track and field official roles and duty crews will be even more crucial to ensure a timely meet. Any constructive feedback and offers of assistance is welcomed. Despite these challenges, I am confident we will all work together in the interests of all of our children and their enjoyment of Little Athletics. Kind Regards, Rachel.
