6 Reasons to Join Little Athletics

New Term, New Sport. Why not have Little Athletics as your summer sport for the new term? There are lots of reasons why Little A’s at ESLAC is a good choice, here are 6 of the best:

  1. It’s good value. $160 for a 20 week season is great value and it’s even better value for families.
  2. Little Athletics can be enjoyed by the whole family at the same venue. Boys and girls ranging from ages 4 to 17 can enjoy a Friday night sporting activity that does not interfere with school sports on Saturday or other club sports on Sunday.
  3. Girls and boys are on an equal footing at little athletics.
  4. Little Athletics is mostly enjoyed as an individual sport. Athletes learn to compete against their own personal best performances and build camaraderie with other athletes they compete against without withdrawing into the tribalism encouraged by some sports.
  5. Little Athletics builds coordination, fitness and general athletic ability and forms a great foundation for other sporting pursuits.
  6. Unlike another sport enjoyed in the eastern suburbs, Little Athletics is not a shark smorgasbord.
