25.01.2022 With thanks to the national sponsor for athletics, Coles, we will have Australias fastest ever 110m Hurdler Kyle Vander-Kuyp visiting as part of the Coles Little Athletes Big Dreams program. On Saturday morning from 9am, Kyle will be sharing some of his personal athletics experiences, which included 2 Olympic games in 1996 and 2000. He will also be sharing messages that reinforce why and how we can be more inclusive with community sports. We're looking forward to sharing some... Yarra Ranges Athletics time with one of the best from our sport!! #coleslittleathletics

24.01.2022 It's just so good to be back at the track!! The massive smiles told us that our athletes had truly missed Running-Jumping-Throwing, trying to be their personal best. Thank you to all the athletes, officials and parents, who made Day 1 a great morning. We learned a lot, and it was excellent to see so many working with the necessary adjustments. Amazing to think we had registrations open for just 2 days and over 100 athletes competing this morning.... Particular shout out to our Senior athletes, and many other volunteers without children being there to ease the workload and bring athletics back to Morrison Reserve. Looking forward to more athletes and families joining us next week!!

14.01.2022 Week 7 of YRA virtual competition. The rain has driven us indoors again this week. We have a ‘add on’ warmup followed by a vertical jump competition. How high can you go? Vertical jump is a measure of power and strength which is really important for all athletics events. Join in and comment with your name, age, club and how high your vertical jump was. Remember, Little Athletics is about doing your best. Have three tries and see if you can improve. Try again another day, see if you can jump higher again!

08.01.2022 We're now so close!!! Thanks to the announcements made, we are certain to have athletics training and competition very soon. There are still some approvals required by the associations to finalise the protocols that will allow us to be Covid safe. While we wait for that, you can help with the planning needed behind the scenes. Are you intending to join us for competition at the earliest opportunity?? We hope so!! To help with planning it will make a big difference to know the... size of our age groups. Please respond with comments here, or e-mail [email protected] Athletes gender and their oldest age in 2020, names are not needed (yet). See more
05.01.2022 BACK ON TRACK - Saturday night saw the return of middle distance racing!! With the support of The Running Company Lilydale, the club volunteers from YRA were able to host a wonderful evening featuring 6 races in the 3000m and 5000m distances. With competitive fields and precise pacemaking, the story of the night included perfect conditions for personal best performances. A tribute to athletes and coaches alike for keeping 'race fit' at a time when racing was impossible. The l...eading performances in the 3000m came from Douglas Buckeridge in 8m29s and Abbey Caldwell in 9m26s. The 5000m saw Shane Grund race in 14m52s and Tess Rhodes in 17m41s. The smiles on faces, and the enthusiasm in the crowd confirmed that it had been far too long since we could compete. Hearing the appreciation from those who had travelled long distances made the effort worthwhile. Thanks to the athletes and coaches from clubs across Melbourne for supporting by entering. Thanks to the amazing volunteers for long hours making it all possible. We'll keep an eye on the calendar, if there are gaps in schedule or events lists. We plan to host more events for those who like to compete. Full results here: https://drive.google.com//1StXvqvH2pdhd_D9vIgGPlILRW/view
