This carnival is open to ALL athletes in Under 9 to Under 16 age groups and also includes specific events for Multi-Class athletes (What’s Multi-Class?) on Sunday 13th February.
We hope to see many of our U9 to U16 athletes enter this competition and come along to participate in a fantastic weekend of athletics. Please note it is for all levels from beginners to experienced and it’s all about participation and PB’s. We can’t wait to host the other SMR centres at our track.
Successful qualifiers will progress to State on 12/13 March at Casey Fields however this is not the only reason to enter region as we prefer to focus on participation and fun.
If you want to get better at a certain events then make sure you attend training as much as you can before SMR.

Newsletter # 7
Hello Team Caulfield.
This Saturday sees Week 9 of club competition (Program 7) with warm up at 8:20am. Pack up duty is U8 Girls. Uniform shop will be open from 8am. Good luck to our athletes competing at the Knox LAC Twilight Open Day later in the afternoon.
State Combined Event
Next weekend we have 40 of our U9 to 16 athletes competing at the Sate Combined Event at Lakeside Stadium. There will be no normal competition at Duncan Mackinnon on Saturday 29 January. We are currently looking to arrange for our younger athletes and those not competing at the state event to attend competition elsewhere. Stay tuned for an update.
Training
Training on Monday and Thursday only this week, with the Australia Day public holiday on Wednesday. Book in using Team App.
Helpers
We are looking for more helpers during our competition days and members to join our committee. We have committee members with children who will be ageing out next year and therefore not continuing in their roles on the committee. We would love to start training people up for these roles for next season. Contact Jason on 0439 347291.
COVID-19
With the significant increase in Covid numbers Team Caulfield will be introducing some further controls to keep our children and volunteers safe while also offering some standard reminders.
1. Please don’t attend Team Caulfield activities if you are unwell or under isolation conditions
2. Use the QR code on arrival to sign in and use the hand sanitiser provided.
3. We will be implementing smaller age group numbers where possible. We will be endeavoring to have groups no larger than 10 children, supported by two parent helpers. We will not be introducing a new program and ask that age groups sequence through their scheduled events.
4. We are requesting parent helpers wear masks when interacting with the children
5. Parents not directly involved in supporting the age groups are to remain behind the track fence and off the competition area.
Reminders
Registrations are still open @ https://lavic.com.au/membership/ if you have any friends who would still like to join for the second half of the season.
A reminder that a parent or a guardian must be present at Duncan Mackinnon Reserve during competition and training.
No dogs allowed at the track.

Social Media
Going forward into the new year we will be communicating most of our information and competition photos to members through our new private members facebook group.
This group is for current members, parents/caregivers and life time members of Caulfield Little Athletics.
Please click on the link and request to join the group.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/267799748748461
The purpose of using a private Facebook group rather than this personal profile is to provide a safe and secure place for our info and photos to go as well as an active place for our members to communicate with each other. The group will be monitored by admin from Caulfield Little athletics committee, to ensure everyone’s privacy.
