Our Centre began in 1976. We are both a junior and senior athletics centre, having registrations from Under 6's through to Masters. We are located behind the tennis courts at the end of Kangaroo St.

Our season begins the first Saturday in September and finishes mid-March. Athletes need to be 5 years of age by the end of September to register with us. There is no age limit – our oldest athlete is in his late 60's! Our athletes range in ability from beginners to Australian representatives.

Our track is considered to be the best grass track in the Region; and we have synthetic run-ups for long and triple jump.

Our primary aim is to bring together athletes and their families in a range of outdoor physical activities with family involvement. At least 1 parent per family is required to actively assist each week.

Emphasis is on “Run For Fun” and improvement of athletes’ own performances. A secondary objective is to provide athletes with a chance to compete at Zone, Regional, State, National and International levels. We offer free mid-week coaching sessions to our athletes in sprints, hurdles, throws, middle distance and walks.

Starting times and warm-ups

A warm-up session is held at 8.15am. Athletes are encouraged to participate, as this is a vital part of competition. Even the youngest athlete risks injury without sufficient warm-up, no matter in which event they participate. Weekly meets are held on Saturday mornings.The Under 13 to Masters have long hurdles, long distance walks and runs scheduled at 8.00am. Under 6 to Under 12 athletes begin at 8.30am. Under 13 to Master athletes begin at 9.00am.

Registration Days

Registrations are taken at our Centre on the last 3 Saturdays in August each year, from 10am till 1pm. We also accept registrations throughout the season.

Annual Competitions

We host an annual Pentathlon and the annual Wallaroo Fun Run. For enquiries, call Deidre on 4981 8000 (or 0418 962 185) or Barbara on 4987 4136.
