Newcastle Athletic Field, Smith Street, Newcastle

Welcome to Newcastle Little Athletics

Little Athletics is a uniquely Australian sport for children aged 5-17 years. As the name suggests, it is based upon the sport of athletics (track and field) and the events are specially modified to suit the ages and abilities of children. A wide range of running, jumping, throwing and walking events is conducted.

Little A's, as it is affectionately referred to by those who enjoy it, is not really about winning, but about having fun, making friends and getting families involved in healthy activities. The emphasis is placed on participation and personal improvement. It is little surprise then, that the motto of Little Athletics is: "Family, Fun and Fitness".

Little Athletics recognises that children vary widely in shape, size and athletic ability, and is thus one of few sports that successfully caters for them all.

Newcastle City Little Athletics meets on Monday afternoons at the Newcastle Athletics field, Smith Street Newcastle West at 5.30pm.
