Parent Involvement
We expect & need all our families to help out to keep the Centre running smoothly.
By completing the Registration process, parents are accepting the conditions stipulated in the WLAC Parent's Charter.
View Parents Charter (Updated 16/07/2023)WLAC Relies on Volunteers
WLAC is a non profit, volunteer run organisation that relies on the assistance of parents to operate.
Therefore, ALL families who register athletes at our centre are required to contribute to its operation.
To successfully operate the Little Athletics program (often over 150 athletes), we require between 50 - 60 people to run the program weekly.
How You Can Help Weekly
Event Assistance
Duty may include measuring jumps or throws, raking the long jump pits, or recording results.
Age Group Support
Assisting age group leaders with athlete organization and movement between events.
Easy & Supported
Duty positions are very easy and assistance is provided to those who are new or are unsure.
