Dear Epping Families

The season it about to start. Remember when you register your child/children you are also making a commitment to help.

We as club do find it difficult to find enough people for a rotation of jobs to occur on a regular basis.

A big change this year will be a sign in sheet for parents/guardians to sign.

If you don't want to sign in or help, your child will not receive points. There will be no recognition of any achievements on the day you don't sign in. If you can not help on your rostered occasion we need you to communicate to us via email at least 24 hours prior to competition otherwise we will do the same as when not signing in.  

We just don't have enough depth in the club to cover everyone.

One in all in.

This year we are doing the roster a little differently.

First we are going to give you the opportunity to select which weeks and which events that you would like to help at.

If there are any spots that have not been filled and you have not already volunteered then we will be putting you on the roster.

Until we know how many families we have we are going to ask that you help at least 9 times throughout the entire season.

If this minimum requirement does not cover the season we will be asking for your help again but only when all families have met the minimum requirement.

Please note that to be a Chief you will require a current Working with Children Card that is registered with Whittlesea City Little Athletics Club.

To spread this responsibility around it would be ideal to have at least 9 Chiefs.

It is not difficult but we do need Parents to put their hand up to learn how to Chief the events.

We will be organising a couple of sessions with the Centre Chief of Officials for people that want to learn about the events. Please email Heidi if you are interested. heidijcolson@gmail.com

Below you will see the table of each week's competition; please click on the link to choose the event that you would like to help out on that day. You can choose to do more than one but I suggest if you do that you choose the same event for the day to be sure that the events do not clash.

 These links will also be found on team app.

LAVic Working With Childrens Check documentation

The WWC Check applies to adults who work with children or are engaged in volunteer roles involving children (under 18 years of age). The WWC Check applicable in Victoria is the mandatory minimum standard for a range of child – related industries.

The WWC Check helps to protect children from sexual or physical harm by checking a person’s criminal history for serious sexual, serious violence or serious drug offences and findings from certain professional disciplinary bodies’ such as the Victorian Institute of Teaching.

Victorian Government through the Department of Justice has introduced the “Working with Children Act 2005,” which has distinct implications on the conduct of Little Athletics.

Below are some more in-depth documents & resourses in regards to the WWC Check & its requirements:

2014/2015 Season

Welcome to the 2014/2015 Little Athletics Season

If you are interested in joining the Epping Little Athletics Club it is not too late.

Please come down to the Meadowglen track any Thursday night between 5 and 6 pm for training and see our club Registrar Simone and she will be able to help you.

If you are a new athlete you will need to bring proof of age with you to be able to complete the registration process.

The total cost for a new member is $196.60, this includes your competition singlet, a training t-shirt and the club fees. You also get a special Limited Edition Epping LAC snap-back cap.

All Little Athletics Clubs are run by Volunteers, so please help us to be able to provide the best experience for you and your Little Athlete.

Each Club is expected to man a certain numbers of events each week. This is why we have a roster and all families are required to help. This help could be as simple as picking up a Javelin or raking a sandpit. Without everyone's help the kids would not be able to compete.

If you would like to get a little more involved why not talk to us about becoming a trainer, learning how to Chief an event or even join the Committee.

Fun, Family and Fitness is what it is all about.
