Hit https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/ to grab your Active Kids Voucher and then head to www.lansw.com.au to renew your membership. if you have a drama just pm me and I’ll help you out.

24.01.2022 Some more great photos thanks to the Jamesons :) This time from last weeks Hurdles, Triple Jump and the 800m :)

23.01.2022 READY, SET, GO is a program we touched on last year but have elaborated on for this current season. It’s a program designed for our younger athletes who due to their age can’t compete in certain events such as triple jump, high jump and hurdles. The QDLA committee still wanted those young athletes to develop the skills necessary for these events when they move up in ages so we develop this program to achieve that aim. The program is aimed at six and seven-year-olds and compri...ses three separate game type skill areas that allows them to improve fundamental movement skills. We derive the games and skills from Darren Wensor’s (head coach of Little Athletics NSW) instructional templates and change them to suit our club. We want to encourage fun, inclusion and of course skill learning in jumping, running, balance, throwing etc. We think the program is an excellent way for the younger athletes of the club to feel included and have events targeted for their learning capacity.

22.01.2022 Just a quick reminder that if any of our young under 9’s to under 12’s want to have a crack and boosting their qualifying time for State tomorrow’s a good time to get that done. 7am at Golland Fields.... help us set a few things up and then they have the entire field to practice and set a good time.

21.01.2022 Week 6 bring on High Jump, Shot Put, 200m Track and Relay! No group game at the end this week as we have a lot of wheel spins to get through. Remember water, hat, sunscreen and sun protective clothing. The weather report says it will be around 27 degrees between 9am to 11am. See you all at 8.45am sharp

21.01.2022 Woo hoo! Check out our new club polo shirts! Looking sharp these light weight super breezy shirts are specially designed for summer sports.... keeping the kids cool but protected from the sun. A order form will be sent with your welcome pack email.

20.01.2022 VOLUNTEER CONTRIBUTION FEE As you would of seen in your welcome email from Helen, the Committee has initiated a voluntary contribution fee this year. There are two options available to members, both of which support the club financially. Option one Contribute financially by paying the voluntary contribution fee. Or ... Option two - Assist with the club fundraisers in 2021. As Covid restrictions ease it is looking more likely that we will be allowed fundraising opportunities next year. This option is completely up to you. It’s either a case of giving us your time or a monetary contribution. If you choose to assist the club with our fundraisers we will ask that you contribute at least six hours volunteer work to us. We will be holding three fundraisers in 2021. One at the Quirindi Rodeo canteen in February, one at the Quirindi Canter in May and a raffle and bbq at the IGA Quirindi. If however you choose to contribute financially via the contribution fee, the fees are as follows. One child as a member is $50, two children as members is $80, three children or more as members is $100. Tiny tot members $25. If you nominate to help us with fundraising events and are unable or unwilling to assist at any of the events in 2021 we will ask that you contribute financially prior to registration in 2021. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support. Our club relies on fundraising, grants and sponsorship to support its members and unfortunately in our current climate sponsorship has been hard to come by. If you have any questions please contact Helen via this Facebook page or chat to her on Saturday morning.

20.01.2022 Todays efforts! Our second round at High Jump and Shot Put.... Krystal tells me a stack of PB's to add to the tally :)

20.01.2022 8.45am start for registered members and 9.30am start for Come and Try participants . See you tomorrow

19.01.2022 On behalf of the QDLA Committee I would like to sincerely apologise to those athletes wishing to gain a qualification to the NSW Championships. Unfortunately due to a technical error our athletes results were not received by LANSW before 31 December and therefore our clubs results were not included. Although several attempts were made to rectify this error LANSW would not allow us to submit our entries. Again I wish to apologise.... I assumed the results had been received but due to the Christmas/new year time period failed to follow up. As mentioned the whole committee worked extremely hard to amend the issue but failed to to so. I can assure you all that this will not happen again.

19.01.2022 Week 3 already! This week we will be coaching in High Jump and Shot Put + recording. Molly Elford and Caitlyn Etheridge will be taking the 200m Track, Helen, Lucy and Caitlin Scanlon will be taking Shot Put and Abs on High Jump. Renea and Georgie will be handling the Ready, Set Go troops. Kick off at 8.45am.... please be on time, we do struggle with groups if people are late. Bring back all 4 forms and drop to the canteen. Remember hat, sunscreen, sun protective athletic clo...thing and water! Make sure you call over to the canteen to gran any receipts from payments. Of course remember to sign in for COVID safety. See you Saturday 8.45am sharp. :)
