22.01.2022 Suzi Hartgers, a member of the Hills District Little Athletics, started her athletics journey in the under-7s in 1974. Every year she won a state title winning 10 over her six years in events from 200m to 1500m and 60m hurdles. She won 17 medals over the six years and set four records. In her under-12 years, she won the 800m and 1500m (a record) and was selected in the State team where she won silver medals in the two events at the championships in Perth. She competed into her senior years and eventually moved to Perth where she is now a high school teacher and a leading distance coach. #lansw50years

18.01.2022 Happy Easter from the team at Little Athletics NSW!

18.01.2022 Little Athletics evolved, like most voluntary community organisations, through the mind and conscience of one man. Trevor Billingham followed the pattern set by many pioneers in the field of community service. He recognised a need and introduced an idea designed to meet that need. On an October day in 1963 three boys turned up at an athletics meeting in Geelong. They were ready to compete. On approaching an official they were told that they were too young to take part. The o...fficial was Trevor Billingham. The disappointment, evident in the boys, left a marked impression on his mind. The thought was temporarily forgotten. It came alive again several months later. At a coaching clinic designed for secondary school students it was noted that the majority of children were primary school age.
