Metro Little Athletes was founded in 2004, commencing its first competition as a club in the 2004/05
season.
Metro Little Athletes is part of 6 affiliated clubs with the Whittlesea City Little Athletics Association.
At Metro we prioritise giving as much back to the kids as we possibly can.
We like to reward the kids on their efforts, thus providing them with certificates of personal bests
throughout the season, endeavouring to encourage them as much as possible in a supportive
environment.
Our club is very family orientated and we encourage all members of the family to become involved.
It is a special time to be part of a fantastic sport. If you have friends who are not doing anything this
summer, be sure to invite them along. Little athletics is all about Family, Fun and Fitness, spending
time making and being with friends and going out to the activities and giving it a go!
Parents help not only as coaches but also as officials and administrators at both the Club and Centre
level. Athletics is a labour-intensive sport. Indeed, it is actually has many sports under the umbrella
of athletics. We want to have you here and to enjoy everything the sport has to offer. We need
everyone doing his or her part when required. Athletics is at its very best when everyone is making
a contribution, no matter how small. The tasks are not complicated, and we have dozens of friendly
and experienced people to help you along the way.
So family involvement is crucial. Just as crucial is the involvement of sponsors. Community sport
cannot function without them.
Throughout the year we undertake regular fundraising efforts to raise much needed funds to keep
the Club financial, but as expected with any club expenses are continual and need to be provided
for.
Funds received from our sponsors help provide our club with new equipment and trophies for our
athletes.
