Knox Little Athletics Centre Inc.

A huge thank you to all the families who joined us at the Knox Little Athletics Welcome & Tryout Day!

We were thrilled to have one of our largest Tryout Day turnouts, and with fantastic weather on the day, it was wonderful to see so many young athletes and their families come down to the Knox Athletics Track and experience what Little Athletics is all about.

It was great to see so many new and prospective athletes having a go at a range of events, meeting our clubs, coaches and officials, and getting a feel for the friendly and welcoming environment at Knox.

A special thank you to:

• Our returning Knox athletes and families who came down to help welcome new families, show prospective athletes around the Centre and share their experience of Little Athletics.
• All the families and volunteers who helped throughout the morning and assisted with making the day run so smoothly.
• Our Chief Officials, who attended their training session earlier in the morning and then stayed on to help run the events for our Tryout Day.
• Our seven Club Committees, who were on hand to provide information, answer questions and welcome prospective athletes and families to their clubs.
• Everyone behind the scenes who helped prepare the track, equipment and facilities for the day.

Days like this are only possible because of the fantastic support of our volunteers, clubs, athletes and families.

Our first competition is on Saturday, 3 October 2026, and we would love to see you join us for the season.

If your child would like to try Little Athletics before committing to the full season, new athletes can also register for a two-week trial through the Little Athletics Victoria Knox registration page:

The two-week trial is a great opportunity for new athletes and families to experience our Saturday competitions, meet the Knox community and see what Little Athletics has to offer.

We hope everyone who attended our Welcome & Tryout Day enjoyed their experience, and we look forward to welcoming you back for the start of the season.

Knox Little Athletics Centre warmly invites all Life Members and Distinguished Service Award recipients to join us for the official opening of our 2026–27 Track & Field season.

Our Opening Ceremony is an opportunity to welcome our athletes and families to the new season while also recognising the many people who have contributed to the history and success of Knox Little Athletics.

We would be delighted to have our Life Members and Distinguished Service Award recipients join us, reconnect with the Centre and celebrate the commencement of another season of athletics at Knox.

Opening Ceremony
Saturday, 3 October 2026
10:00 am
Knox Athletics Track, Bunjil Way, Knoxfield

Following the ceremony, guests are very welcome to stay and enjoy the morning’s competition and catch up with members of the Knox Little Athletics community.

Keep Your Contact Details Up to Date

We also encourage all Life Members and Distinguished Service Award recipients to ensure that the Centre has their current contact details.

If your email address, phone number or other contact information has changed, or if you are no longer receiving communications from the Centre, please contact the Knox Little Athletics Centre Secretary so our records can be updated at secretary@klac23.org.au

We look forward to welcoming our Life Members and Distinguished Service Award recipients back to Knox and celebrating the start of the 2026–27 season together.

Knox Little Athletics will be holding our Chief Officials Training Session this Saturday morning, 12 September, commencing at 8:30 am at the Knox Athletics Track.

This session is a key part of our prep for the 2026–27 Track & Field season, aimed at making sure our Chief Officials are ready to confidently lead events from week one. We’re asking club committees to make sure their chiefs for this season attend.

The morning will provide an opportunity to update and refresh officials on:

• Event rules and procedures, including any updates for the new season
• Knox Centre processes and how we expect events to be managed each week
• Committee expectations for Chief Officials and event teams
• Child Safety requirements and the responsibilities of officials when working with our young athletes
• Event set-up, operation and pack-up
• Managing athletes, parent helpers and event flow
• Ensuring events are conducted safely, consistently and efficiently

Our Chief Officials play a critical role in the successful running of our weekly competition program. Having officials familiar with the Centre’s processes before competition begins helps ensure events run smoothly, athletes receive a consistent experience and our Saturday competition program stays on schedule.

We ask all appointed Chief Officials to attend wherever possible and to come prepared for the upcoming season.

Tryout Day to Follow

Immediately following the training session, Knox will hold our 2026–27 Tryout Day from 10:00 am.

We would appreciate Chief Officials remaining after the training session to assist with running the Tryout Day events and welcoming new and prospective athletes and families to Knox.

📅 Saturday, 12 September 2026
⏰ Chief Officials Training – 8:30 am
🏃 Tryout Day – from 10:00 am
📍 Knox Athletics Track

Thank you to all of our officials for volunteering their time and helping us prepare for another successful season at Knox Little Athletics.

When registering with Knox Little Athletics Centre, athletes will be asked to select one of our seven independent clubs.

Each club has its own committee and manages the needs of its members, while all athletes compete together as part of Knox Little Athletics Centre.

🟡 Why does Knox have clubs?

With a large number of athletes and families competing each week, our clubs play an important role in helping us manage and run the Centre.

Our clubs help to:

• organise athletes and families into smaller groups within the Centre;
• coordinate families to assist with the weekly duty roster;
• provide officials and volunteers to help run our track and field events;
• fill designated event official and operational roles each competition day;
• assist with communication between the Centre and families;
• support the general management and operation of Knox Little Athletics; and
• help create a smaller club community within the larger Knox Centre.

Little Athletics relies heavily on volunteers, and our club structure helps ensure the many events and duties required each week are shared across our Knox families.

While athletes represent their individual club during normal Knox competition, all seven clubs work together to operate the Centre and provide competition for everyone.

🏫 Which club should I choose?

Athletes will generally join the club that is aligned with their school. This helps athletes compete alongside friends, classmates and other families from their local area.

The school allocations are:

Boronia Bolters
Bayswater PS, Boronia K–12, Boronia Heights PS, Boronia West PS, St Joseph’s PS and Our Lady of Lourdes.

Dorset Demons
Wattleview PS, Ferntree Gully North PS, Mountain Gate PS, The Basin PS and St Bernadette’s PS.

Knoxfield
Holy Trinity PS, Knox Park PS, Carrington PS, Kent Park PS and St Andrew’s PS.

Scoresby Striders
Scoresby PS, St Jude’s PS, Waverley Christian College and Knox Gardens PS.

Wantirna
Regency Park PS, St Luke’s PS, Wantirna PS, The Knox School and Templeton PS.

✅ The school allocation is a guide and is not compulsory.

If your athlete attends a school outside the Knox area, their school is not listed above, or they already have friends or family in another Knox club, they are welcome to choose the club that best suits them.

No matter which club you join, you are part of the wider Knox Little Athletics community. 🟡⚫

If you are unsure which club to select when registering, contact the Centre Secretary at secretary@klac23.org.au and we can help point you in the right direction.
