Hallett Cove Little Athletics Centre

Hallett Cove Little Athletics Centre, located in Adelaide, is a vibrant and inclusive sports club that invites children aged 3 to Under 17, regardless of ability, to join and strive to achieve their best in a wide range of athletic events. The club's main focus is on fun, fitness, and improvement, rather than winning.

Hallett Cove Little Athletics Centre is operated entirely by dedicated volunteers, and the club greatly appreciates the assistance of parents in running meets and events. Coaching and training opportunities are also available for athletes who want to improve their techniques and skills.

The club's meets run from October to March at Hallett Cove R-12 School, with competitions taking place on Friday nights starting at 6pm. For those who are new to Little Athletics, there is the opportunity to come and try the club for free (online registration required).

Hallett Cove Little Athletics Centre has a rich history, as it was founded in 1973 as part of the South Australian Little Athletics Association (SALAA). The association is community-focused and aims to promote athletics for children aged 3–17 years. The events organised by the association are specially modified to suit the abilities and ages of the children, and a wide range of running, jumping, throwing, and walking events are conducted.

The club is governed by a committee of dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to ensure smooth operations and the best experiences for the athletes. The committee members include Megs White (Secretary), Gee Barfield (Treasurer), Paul Barfield (President), Kim McAvaney (Child Safe Officer), Cameron White (Coach), Adam Ireson (Registrations/Recorder), Kristy Templer (Competition and Officials Coordinator), Dave Hutchinson, Mick Dutton, Lani Waziri, and Rebecca McMillan (Committee Members).

Hallett Cove Little Athletics Centre is eager to welcome new members and encourages interested individuals to register online through the RegistrationsHQ Portal on the Little Athletics South Australia website. In order to complete the registration process, it is required to bring the proof of registration to the club in order to receive a race pack.
