Echuca/Moama Little Athletics Centre is a thriving sports club located in Murray Shire Council, Australia. With a mission to provide a fulfilling athletics experience for young athletes, the club offers both Little Aths and Senior Aths programmes.
In addition to the traditional Little Athletics programme, Echuca/Moama Little Athletics Centre has recently introduced a senior athletics competition. This expansion aims to cater to senior athletes of all abilities, whether they are looking for social fun, competitive opportunities, or preseason fitness. The senior athletics competition takes place on Friday nights following the little athletics competition.
To ensure a smooth start to the season, the club organises information sessions, registration patch pickups, and uniform purchases on October 2 and October 5 at Jack Eddy Oval. These sessions are crucial for parents and carers to get all the necessary information, complete the registration process, and be prepared for the first meet on October 6. The first meet also serves as a come and try day for new athletes who have opted for a trial registration.
Membership costs for Little Athletics are $150 per member, with discounts offered for families with multiple athletes. The membership covers both the summer track and field season and the winter cross country season. Senior Athletics membership is available for individuals aged 30 and above, with an annual fee of $10 to Masters Australia and a $150 season club membership. Associate membership is available for those under 30 years.
Casual participants can opt for a $20 per meet fee.
The club fosters a welcoming and supportive environment for all athletes, as evidenced by the testimonial from Lacey Smith, a U14 athlete who loves participating in Little Aths to spend time with friends and improve her personal bests.
The Echuca/Moama Little Athletics Centre website provides helpful links for joining the club, fundraising opportunities, results, equipment hire, and other valuable resources. Contact information is listed for easy communication, and it is worth mentioning that the club's location is at Jack Eddy Oval in Moama, NSW, with a secondary address at 114 Sturt St, Echuca, VIC.
A fun fact about the club is incorporated into its logo, featuring the number 58. This number represents the centre's affiliation date, making it the 58th centre in Victoria to establish in 1976.
Echuca/Moama Little Athletics Centre is committed to promoting athletics in the community and providing an enjoyable and fulfilling experience for both young and senior athletes.
