Ringwood Little Athletics has a number of coaches that provide specific training for events.

We usually provide training over a few days a week for specific events.

Training usually starts from 4.15pm, but will depend on coach availability and day of the week.

You must supervise your child at training at all times and during competition.

Yes, Little athletics can only run efficiently and effectively if there are an adequate number of volunteers each week.

Yes, your child must purchase a uniform from our uniform shop at the start of the season

You must sew the Coles patch on your child’s uniform top as they are the major sponsor of LAVic.

There are plenty available at our uniform shop.

The CommBank patch also displays our key sponsor, CommBank, but has your child’s registration number and a bar code used to record track event results.
