Athletics Registrations
MLC School Sports Department is excited to announce that we have partnered with Canterbury Little Athletics to provide MLC School students with access to general athletics training, specialised athletics training and competition and representative opportunities.
Canterbury Little Athletics Centre (CLAC) is affiliated with Little Athletics NSW (LANSW). Athletes must be registered with LANSW before competing.
The Sports Department believe that partnering with CLAC will strengthen our athletics program by allowing MLC School students to access specialised coaching, and the weekly competition nights will provide the much needed competition practise that our students require to be competitive in the IGSA and IPSHA championships.
It will also provide students with the opportunity to participate in field events we cannot do at school eg: long jump, discus and javelin. We believe that access to the NSW athletics representative pathway will be of great benefit to our emerging athletes and those students who wish to pursue athletics in a representative capacity.
CLAC run competition nights each Friday from 6pm, between September and March at Campbell Field, Canterbury. Finish times vary depending on the number of athletes present on competition night and the weekly event program. There is a mid-season break over the Christmas/New Year period.
Please note: Because the registration period opened in August, the 9 year old (born 2016) and 11 year old (born 2014) age groups are now full.
Uniform
On Friday evenings, students will be required to wear the Canterbury Little As uniform which consists of a singlet top or crop top and black running shorts. You can purchase this online on the CLAC website.
The black shorts are generic so you can wear any plain black running shorts or bike pants.
Location
Campbell Athletic Field
Princess St Ashbury
If students in Year 6 – Year 12 require transport to Campbell Athletic Field, a bus will be leaving school at 5.30pm on Fridays. This will be a one way trip. Students will need to be collected from Campbell Field at the conclusion of the session.
If there is no demand for transport, a bus will not be provided.
The CLAC website has more detailed information about their club, please click here.
Moving forward for 2025, the Athletics Program will look like this.
- Wednesday afternoons (Year round) at Olympic Park.
- Friday Nights (Little A’s September to April)
