Welcome to Prestons Robins Little Athletics Centre – where Family, Fun and Fitness come together!
Little Athletics is a summer sport for children aged 3 to 19 years (terms and conditions apply), welcoming athletes of all abilities. At Prestons Robins Little Athletics Centre, we provide a fun, inclusive and supportive environment where children can develop their confidence, learn new skills and enjoy being active.
Our weekly competitions are held every Friday evening from September through to mid-March at Ash Road Sporting Complex.
Our Program
We offer a two-week rotating program:
- Week 1 (6:00 pm): Race Walks (9’s and up) and Long Hurdles (13’s and up).
- Week 2 (6:00 pm): Javelin events (11’s and up).
All other track and field events commence from 6:30 pm each Friday, giving athletes the opportunity to participate in a variety of running, jumping and throwing events throughout the season.
More Than Just Athletics
At Prestons Robins, we believe every child should have the opportunity to enjoy sport, regardless of their experience or ability. Our weekly competitions encourage participation, personal improvement and sportsmanship in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Athletes are supported to reach their individual potential through regular participation while building friendships and creating lasting memories.
A Volunteer-Driven Community
Little Athletics is proudly run by volunteers. Every event on Friday night relies on the support of parents and carers who assist with officiating and helping the Centre operate smoothly.
By volunteering, you’re not only helping your own child—you are helping every athlete enjoy the opportunity to compete, learn new skills, make friends and discover their potential. Whether it’s measuring a jump, recording results or assisting at an event, every helping hand makes a difference.
Together, we create a welcoming community where children can thrive both on and off the track.
