Friday Night Competition Overview

Every Friday evening from September to March, Tiger Wests runs a modified athletics competition at Wyatt Park for all age groups.

What to expect​

Each Friday includes:

  • Warm-up from 6:00 pm while parents help set up equipment
  • 4–6 events per athlete — a mix of track and field tailored to each age group
  • Personal best tracking — all results recorded in ResultsHQ
  • Sausage sizzle BBQ and free Coles bananas at the end

The atmosphere​

Parents walk the field alongside their children, supervising events and sharing the experience. This is what makes Little Athletics different from almost every other children's sport — you're part of it, not just watching from outside the fence.

Children are encouraged to compete against their own previous best rather than purely against others. Steady improvement is what we celebrate.

Age groups competing together​

All age groups run on the same night, but events are run separately within each group. Distances, hurdle heights and throwing implement weights all increase as children get older.
