Caulfield Little Aths is about family, fun and fitness. To run a successful program, the centre needs the support and involvement of parents in voluntary roles. Parent volunteers ensure the success of our Centre both on and off track. This can be through assisting to measure, record and coach our children or supporting the running of the organisation or event in an off track role.  At athletics these voluntary roles are called duty.

There are 3 types of duty roles – Key Officials, Age Group Teams and Coordinators, & Event Support.  It is the obligation of all families registering at Caulfield to nominate for a duty role and perform that role when required.

If you haven’t already done so please register for duty using the link below.
