What to Expect

When you join FLAC, expect to have an enjoyable morning of athletics in a family-friendly relaxed environment with focus on participation and improvement.

Start & Finish Times

Our Saturday morning competitions start at either 8:00am or 8:30am with set-up commencing at 7am. Check the weekly program guides for dates and times for this season. We encourage parents to help with set-up to ensure an on-time start each week. Events across all ages groups are run simultaneously and will often require parent assistance to ensure smooth running of the program.

Events and Marshalling

Saturday morning competitions involve athletes competing in up to 5 events. The events are varied throughout the day with a typical program involving each athlete competing in two track events and two field events. We try to ensure that athletes can compete in a combination of throwing and jumping events each week. Our weekly programs are outlined HERE.

​

When called on the PA system, athletes are required to make their way to the applicable flag colour where their AGM will escort them to the event.

Age Groups

Athletes are divided into the age groups to compete at individual events.

​

The U6 age program is the On Track Program, which is a developmental motor skills based introduction to athletics.  The On Track Program runs simultaneously to the standard program for other age groups.

​

The Under 14 - Under 17 Age Groups are generally combined due to smaller age group sizes. This assists in ensuring events are completed more quickly. In this case, athletes still compete in their age groups however multiple age groups run at the same time so we can get through things quicker!

Other Info

As always, we require events to be filled with officials and volunteers to help. The more volunteers out there, the quicker the morning runs.

​

Prior to event days, we will update our social media platforms with a reminder of the events on the program and any roles we still haven't filled as yet that will be required to be filled.
