Kooringal-Wagga Athletics Club

Kooringal-Wagga Athletics Club also runs a 3-4-year-old Tiny Tots program. The emphasis here is on FUN while developing basic motor skills through simple games. The fundamental skills of running, jumping and throwing are approached through "appropriate" activities for 3-4-year-old. Emphasis is not on competition but on the development of young children and this is incorporated in play and relatively unstructured games. These games are managed by our Volunteer Coordinator, and requires that at least one parent remain with the child to assist them and the Co-ordinator.

Kooringal-Wagga Athletics Club also runs an OnTrack Program for our Under 6’s that builds on the fundamental skills learnt in the Tiny Tots program to progress them with the techniques to advance their individual skill sets. This program is currently being run by one of our qualified coaches.

Your Club promotes athletics as a participation sport for children with the help of their parents. Children are encouraged to compete against one another in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere regardless of ability. The idea is for children to improve individual performance throughout the season as well as physical fitness and technique.

At Kooringal-Wagga Athletics Club, we aim to:

• Provide friendly athletic competition between children of the same age;

• Involve parents as volunteers to assist with the organization of weekly club competition; as well as social activities

• Provide the opportunity for the more competitive children to represent our Club at championship levels of competition;

• Improve the athletic skills and physical fitness of all our members; and

• Involve parents in the running of the Club.
