Coaching
A reminder, our summer coaching and Friday night coaching will commence after the school holidays.  This will include coaching for all ages including 6’s to 8’s from 4:45pm to 5:30pm on Fridays before their event begins across throws, jumps and sprints and from 5:30pm to 6:20pm for the 9’s to 18’s for sprints and hurdles. There is a separate season coaching fee.

Patch Placement

McDonalds registration number must be placed in the centre of your child’s singlet/crop top with the full red border showing and the age patch goes on the right-hand side shoulder of their singlet/crop top.  There are no Coles patches this year to worry about.

If registration numbers are lost throughout the season, there is a $20 replacement fee for a new registration number as we have to pay to purchase another number.

Returning members are asked to hand in their old registration numbers at the registration table so as the RFID tags (timing chips) can be reused.

Upcoming event information:-

  • Friday, 3 October – NO COMPETITION
  • Friday, 10 October – Event Series 2 / Competition points
  • Friday, 17 October – Event Series 3 / Competition points

Please refer to the club’s website Eastern Suburbs LAC for the season calendar, events and coaching information and any updates or follow us on Facebook @EasternSuburbsLittleAthletics and Instagram @easternsuburbslittleas

We look forward to seeing you at the track.

Welcome to ESLAC
Eastern Suburbs Little Athletics Centre

The emphasis for all age groups is on fun, friendship and participation but the great thing about Little A’s, as Little Athletics is affectionately known, is that all this is achieved at the same time as our youngsters transform from tots into the athletes of the future.

From September to March each year ESLAC offers boys and girls, aged 4 to 17, the opportunity to learn, train and compete in a full range of athletic events. Our regular Friday night competitions take place at ES Marks Athletic Field where we aim to continue the Field’s 100 year tradition of community based athletics participation and competition.

The Junior program (Tots aged 4, Under 6s and Under 7s) starts our youngest members off with programs that will develop their coordination, athletic skill and confidence. As our young athletes progress through the age groups, the events in which they participate also progress until, as seniors, they are eligible for dual membership with an adult athletics club.

ESLAC uses electronic timing equipment to accurately time our track events and  with the help of parents and volunteers, results from competition nights are uploaded to our online database where personal best performances (PB’s) are flagged for each athlete and a full history of individual results is available 24/7.

What Happens on Friday Night? Each Friday night in the season (2025/2026 Season Calendar) our registered athletes turn up to ES Marks. Parents/carers take their little athletes to the age group marshalling area in front of the BBQ where they find their age group flag and catch up with their Little Athletics friends. That gives the parents/carers some time to help set up equipment at the various event locations around ES Marks (see the ESLAC ES Marks Event Locations Map for details). ESLAC Coaches/Age Managers will take the Little Athletes around the track to start the warm up so that they are warmed up and the Events Program is ready to start.

Tiny Tots (ages U4/U5) through to U8 do 4 events in 15 minute blocks between 5.30pm – 6.30pm. The U9 to U17 age groups do 2 field events that take 40 minutes each and 2 track events that take 20 minutes each, between 6.30pm – 8.00pm.  ESLAC runs a 6 series events program that cycles the age groups through a full range of events over a 6 week rotation. Take a look at ESLAC Event Series 6 to see a typical events series and visit our Events Offered page to see the full range of events on offer at Eastern Suburbs Little Athletics Centre.

The emphasis for all age groups is on fun, friendship and participation but the great thing about Little A’s, as Little Athletics is affectionately known, is that all this is achieved at the same time as our youngsters transform from tots into the athletes of the future.
