Championships Officer:
Simon Nicola As a athlete of Winston Hills Club you have the opportunity to compete against athletes from other clubs. Theses include:
Zone Championships
This is a local carnival which
involves a number of Centres within our local district. Athletes in the
age groups U7 through to U17 are eligible for this event. U7 athletes do
not progress past the Zone Championships. The Zone carnival is
collectively run by the clubs within the Zone. Athletes can compete in
up to 4 different events plus the relay if selected, with age groups U7
to U12 restricted to 5 athletes from each centre. For U13 & above, there
are no restrictions on how many athletes can enter an event from each
centre, but athletes can not enter more than 6 events plus the relay if
selected. See selection criteria below
Qualifiers from Zone are eligible
to compete at Region. Athletes in the age groups U8 through to U17 are
eligible for this event. U8 athletes do not progress past the Regional
Championships.
Qualifiers from Region are eligible
to compete at the State Championships. Athletes in the age groups U9
through to U17 are eligible for this event.
If a child is selected for the Zone
carnival, the athlete and parent(s) must be prepared for the possibility
of going on to the State carnival, should the athlete be successful at
the Zone and subsequent Region carnivals. If it is not possible to
guarantee both a parent and athlete will be able to participate, then
please advise the Championships Officer immediately so that another
child may be selected in their place.
The Australian Little Athletics
Championships (ALAC) is a one-day event held every year, hosted by each
State or Territory on a rotational basis. All States and Territories,
apart from the Northern Territory, are represented at the Championships.
The selection criteria for LAANSW
carnivals and other carnivals nominated by WHLAC is based on the
performance of athletes in a particular event. Performance results are
used by the Championships Officer, with the assistance of the Age
Manager, to select carnival participants where the athletes are provided
with the best opportunities to reach their full potential. State Relays
is a Centre Team Event and selections are based purely on performance
results. Selection for Zone Carnivals seeks the preferences of
individual athletes for events they wish to participate in, before
making final selections based on preferences and performances. Carnival results
As they become available we will be
adding a report and results summary to the Results page. You can also
see the results from other zones and regions on the LAANSW website. State Multi-Event Championships
The State Multi-Event Championships
are held on the first full weekend in March each year at a Country
venue. This season the Championships are being held at Turner Park,
Aberdare (Cessnock) on Saturday & Sunday, March 3 & 4, 2012. First event
on the Saturday is at 9.30am, with first marshal call at 9.15am.
Athletes participate in ALL of the events on offer for their particular
age group. Performances for all events are allocated points, based on
the LANSW Multi-Event pointscore system. The points are then added
together to determine final results. Further information will be
available closer to the date Trans Tasman
The Trans Tasman is for athletes in
the U11 and U12 age groups, from both NSW and Auckland. Every second
year, a team from NSW (boys and girls in both the U11 and U12 age
groups), travel to Auckland for the Trans Tasman Tour. On alternate
years, a team from Auckland travels to Sydney. Next season the Trans
Tasman Challenge will take place in Auckland in January 2012.
The State Cross Country & Road
Walks are usually held on the first Sunday in July each year. In the
2011/2012 season the Championships are being held on July 1, 2012
at Kembla Joggers Cross Country Park, Darkes Road, West Dapto (hosted by
Wollongong City Little Athletics Centre). The event is held alternately
in a Sydney metropolitan or country area of NSW. There is a $10 entry
fee for this Championship (this fee covers both the run and the walk).
There is also a late entry fee of $25 (allowing an entry to be received
for 1 week after the original closing date). Athletes in the U7 through
to U17 age groups are eligible to enter the State Cross Country.
Athletes in the U9 through to U17 age groups are eligible to enter the
State Road Walks. Parental assistance
If an athlete is selected for a
LAANSW carnival, a parent is required to participate in the running of
that particular carnival. At least one parent from each athlete’s family
is required to assist in the running of the specific event(s) our Centre
has been allocated to run during the carnival. A roster of helpers will
be prepared and operated for this purpose. Supervision
No athlete is to be sent to a
carnival without the necessary equipment (ie. uniform, hat, sun screen,
lunch, money etc). It is the responsibility of the parent to arrange
transport to and from the carnival and supervision for their children at
the carnival. It cannot be assumed the Age Manager or other club
official will accept responsibility for your child.
Every Parent, Volunteer, Coaches
and Officials need to complete a Declaration, and can be done online by
