2016 Cross Country Season:
The proposed timetable is available on the home page. Rather than a single page for Cross Country, I have decided to reuse the pre-existing Calender and Programme pages, under the Cross Country Season 2016 tab (previously Season 2015/16). The other pages under that tab have been taken down until we have information for next season.

This will take place on Sunday. A final programme is available under Season 15/16:State Wide Meets.
Northern Zone Improvers (Saturday 12th):
This event gives those that don't qualify for the State Individual Championships a chance to compete for medals. A draft programme and centre roster are available on Season 15/16:Regional Meets. Please help out whenever you can with Long Jumps 1 & 2, we realise this a lot more than we would generally be managing, but all the Centres have had to pick up the slack generated by someone's reffusal to allow their athletes to attend.
Athletics SA Club Day (Saturday 12th):
Those athletes over twelve years of age, that are not attending the Northern Zone Improvers, are encouraged to have a look at the ASA Club Day. This is essentially the senior athletics equivalent of a Come & Try Day. A programme is available, and features all standard Little Athletics events. If you have any questions please ask Liam.
State Individual Championships (Friday-Sunday 18th, 19th and 20th):
A draft programme for the State Championships is available under Season 15/16: State Championships. If you have any questions please ask a committee member Friday or email the Centre.

Nominations have already closed for the Little Aths competition, however our older athletes may still nominate for the Senior competition if they are a member of an ASA affiliated senior Club.
