The 2017 Northern Metropolitan Zone Championships are run and won.
NRCLAC were well represented by 152 athletes. We had some great results over the two days. Thank you for giving it your best and doing it with a smile. Congratulations to our Junior Girls' Relay team (Carys, Chloe, Hayley, and Jasmine) winning second place, and our Junior Boys' Relay (Ben, Finn, Lachie, and Jacob) winning gold, which are our best results for a number of years. Thank you to Annika and Mick for coaching them. Congratulations to Zone record breakers, CJ Nilon in the 9B 700M Walk, and Benjamin Woodhouse in the 9B 800M. Fantastic work. Well done. A special thank you to our Multi-Class athletes who were able to compete at Zone for the first year ever: Jonathan, Emily, Joel, Harrison, Ben, Keira, Angelina, and Loki. Hopefully we can do it again next season with even more athletes. Thank you to the 117 parents who did their helper duties. I know some of you got stuck out there longer than expected. Thank you to Janet and Natasha who got allocated the longest shifts because they're too nice to say no. Thank you to the NRCLAC Officials who helped run the carnival. It couldn't happen without your contributions: Jenny, Les, Ben W, Adam, Greg, Rohan, Nigel, John, Ben J, Clint, Sankaran, Pia, Chelsea, and Bernard. You may have been roped into more than you were expecting. Special mention to golden tonsils Garry on the PA. Great job all weekend. Thank you to Amanda For taking photos all weekend. Thank you to Adam P for helping manipulate data for our nominations. Thank you to Committee members and families, particularly Ben and Drew, who helped set up and pack up our area. We had the most tents and looked the most organised. And most of all, thank you to NRCLAC Team Managers, Annika and Carwyn. There's so much work that goes into organising nominations, selecting the team, organising parent duties, checking uniforms, marshalling during the day, being the first to arrive and the last to leave. Thank you. Legends ; ) Following the Little Athletics Australia Annual Conference in October, the following are the changes from IAAF that affect Little Athletics NSW:
Details HERE. Thank you to all who contributed to our gold-coin charity donation on Saturday. We were able to raise $191.50 to donate to The Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME).
AIME believes in an Australia where Indigenous children finish high school at the same rate as all Australian students. AIME is an educational program that gives Indigenous high school students the skills, opportunities, belief and confidence to make this happen. By matching Indigenous high school students with university student mentors, AIME successfully supports the students to finish high school. AIME also connects students with post Year 12 opportunities, including further education and employment. AIME’s goal is to work with 10,000 Indigenous kids per year by 2018 and see them finish school at the same rate as every Australian child. If you missed out on contributing, you may like to make your own donation HERE. 2017/18 AGE GROUP PHOTOS - Free download HERE.
Coles is the new naming sponsor for Little Athletics Australia. As part of the sponsorship they are donating 2 Million bananas to Little Athletics Centres. From this Saturday we will have 60kg of bananas to give away each week. Please collect as many bananas as you think you can use from in front of the canteen. They're FREE!!
Tuesdays:
Multiple Event Coaching with Darren Wensor Multiple event development coaching (i.e. running, jumping and throwing) with a focus on long-term development and age appropriate skills, speed, agility, strength, and power is available every Tuesday 5.30pm - 7.00pm at Kingsdene Oval with Darren Wensor for athletes in the Little Athletics age groups of Under 9 to Under 11. Bookings are essential and there is a cost of $15 per athlete per session for the coaching. Athletes who undertake these sessions join a group and therefore reserve a place to attend each session. A weekly commitment is expected. For more information, go to https://darrenwensor.com/regularweekly-squad-coaching-sessions/. To book a place in the group, contact Darren on 0417 686 257 or email [email protected]. To preserve the quality of the sessions and ensure personal attention, numbers will be limited. Adults Walking (&/or Running) Group is starting every Thursday night at training. Meet Amanda at 6.10pm in front of the Clubhouse.
Let's put the time to good use while our Little Athlete's are training. All welcome! NRCLAC wants to ensure that the experiences of all kids, officials and spectators are positive. We want everyone, especially children, to continue their involvement in sport because it’s a fun and an enjoyable environment for all. #shooshforkids
