Joondalup Little Athletics ... is all about Family, Fun and Fitness for our children

We are a cheap sport. Your fees of about $180 cover a 25 week summer season. That is only $6 a week! One of the reasons we are so cheap, is that we depend heavily on volunteering from our families.

Joondalup Little Athletics requires every family to do at least one Saturday Meet Roster per month. If you don't do at least one roster per month your child won't be able to compete at our Saturday Meets until you do. See our Roster Policy for more information.

Many families do more than one Parent Help roster a month. Many parents find it very rewarding to volunteer for bigger roles within the Centre:

1. Officiating. Be with your child onsite while they compete and contribute to the Centre. We are looking for Age Group Coordinators to look after our athletes at our competitions. Coordinators look after a particular group (eg: Under 12 Girls or Under 8 Boys) at a Saturday Meet, moving the group from event to event and running the events as the children compete. We train you, support you, and give you a recognition function at the end of the season. Many of our Coordinators formed great relationships with 'their' group last year and had a lot of fun onsite with the athletes. If you were a Coordinator last year, we'd love to have you back this year!
2. Coaching. Help a group of children improve in their sport and have fun. We are looking for people to be Age Group Coaches or Event Coaches for one or two nights a week. The idea is that we would like to have lots of coaches all doing a "little bit" rather than a few coaches looking after lots of athletes. We train you with a Level 1 Athletics Australia accredited coaching course offered solely to Joondalup coaches and give you the chance to make a difference to a group of children. This is one of the most rewarding things you can do in junior sport. Contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more information.
3. Not the sporty type? That's OK, there are lots of other volunteer roles around the Centre: Canteen, help organise the Christmas Party, send out the Weekly Email Newsletter, etc.
