COVID-19 Protocols

When you join Wangaratta Little Athletics Centre for the 2021/22 Season, you acknowledge that COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the operations of Centre, resulting in a number of changes to the usual operating protocols and event program.  All members of our Centre must abide by all COVID-19 protocols and restrictions including:

• A parent or guardian must be in direct supervision at all times when their child is at Little Athletics
• Parents/guardians must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (no later than 26 November), unless they have a medical exemption.  Proof of vaccination/exemption must be provided at the outset of the season
• The parent/guardian is responsible for supervising children at a sanctioned competition and training activities
• The presence of parents/guardian is required for the safe conduct of sanctioned Little Athletics activities
• Physical distancing (>1.5m) must be observed by all attendees at all times (athletes are exempt when training/competing)
• Spectators who are not required or essential to the conduct of sanctioned activities cannot attend LIttle Athletics

2021/22 Membership Fee = $127 per athlete, with a family discount for 2+ children

Children who haven't been a member of a Little Athletics Centre previously are invited to trial 2 competition days of Little Athletics at the beginning of the season (Week 1 and Week 2), before committing to full membership.  There are no refunds once a membership has been paid, and the two free trial weeks are not discounted - the full membership is payable.  ONce a trial athlete is registered, their results from week 1 and week 2 are manually entered into the ResultsHQ system.

A birth certificate must be sited as proof of age for all new registrations (U6-U16).  Birth certificates can be presented to our Registrar at the Information Tent on Friday night.  Any new members wanting to fast track this process can take a photo of the Birth Certificate and send it as a Message via the @wangaratta20 Facebook page.
