Family, Fun and Fitness!

Toowoomba Little Athletics Club has been going strong for over 40 years.

Open to children aged from 3 years to 17 years of all abilities, the running, jumping and throwing skills learnt through athletics track and field events provide strong foundations for all sports and promote a positive, healthy lifestyle.

Most importantly, Little Athletics is lots of FUN! Everyone is welcome, from complete beginners to seasoned athletes.

Athletics is a summer sport with our Little Athletics season running from September to March each year. Our club’s weekly Centre Competitions are held on Sunday afternoons commencing at 1.30pm.

Registered athletes benefit from our weekly Centre Competitions as well as the opportunity to compete against other athletes across the state and nationally through away carnivals hosted by other clubs and championship events held by Little Athletics Queensland.

Toowoomba Little Athletics is based at O’Quinn Street Oval in Toowoomba. Our athletes and families benefit from our well-maintained grounds, complete with a full sized 400m grass running track, electronic timing system, all the latest athletics equipment and a well appointed clubhouse with canteen and restroom facilities.

Introducing our future … Tiny Tots Athletics for 3 to 4 year olds.

The Tiny Tots Little Athletics program is available for children aged 3 – 4 years old. Our Tiny Tots have loads of fun and get the opportunity to learn correct technique right from the start. The Tiny Tots are even a part of our weekly club competition program.

The Tiny Tots athletics program helps to build the essential foundations required for all sports including running, jumping and throwing. Coach Clinton is our scheduler and has considered carefully how to include the Tiny Tots so they get the most out of each session. Our Tiny Tot athletes are our future and we welcome all 3-4 year old’s to be a part of something amazing.

The 2024/25 season will be jam packed with activities and heaps of fun. The Tiny Tots program runs for approximately one hour during our weekly Sunday afternoon club competition. The session starts at 1:30 pm sharp and all athletes will get great exposure to a variety of track and field events in the Little Athletics program.

It won’t take them long to know what hurdles are all about, how to jump, and crush the throws. They love being taught and we love seeing them develop consistently over the season.

Note, athletics is a hands on sport and parents must be present to supervise their children and help out for the whole season.
