Also, no points will be awarded for events competed in while registered as a trial athlete.

Parent Involvement
Portland Little Athletics centre is run entirely by volunteers. The Centre could not run without the support and assistance of parents. The saying, many hands make light work is true for Little Athletics, the more helpers we have the less work everyone needs to do. It is for this reason we ask that every parent/guardian provides some assistance at our weekly meet. We only ask that you do what you are able and there is always a committee member around who is more than happy to answer your questions or show you what to do.
We do require that a parent/guardian is present at any activity that is conducted by the Centre. This includes weekly competition and training.
Portland Little Athletics supports Federal and Victorian legislation in regards to child protection. We may require a Working with Children Check to be completed.
