Sport has a very special place in Australian society. We are proud of our sporting tradition. We look up to our champions and we remember and respect the sporting heroes of yesterday a great many of whom are remembered for their deeds on the athletic field. Winning, of course, is a vital part of that tradition but not as important as the spirit of Australian sport. All that spirit stems from our commitment to fair play. The Australian Sports Commission has developed Codes of Behaviour for use in sporting programmes for children. Little Athleti such totally endorses these Codes for all its participants.

: If children are interested, encourage them to participate. However, if your child is not willing, do not force him or her. rt and performance rather than the overall outcome of the event. This assists your child in setting realistic goals related to his/her ability by reducing the emphasis on winning. Teach your child that honest effort is as important as victory, so that the result of each competition is accepted without undue disappointment. Encourage your child to always participate according to the rules. Never ridicule or yell at your child for making a mistake or losing a competition. Remember children are involved in organised sports for their enjoyment not yours. Remember that children learn best by example. Applaud good performances by all athletes. gment and honesty in public.

Never ridicule or yell at the children for making mistakes or losing in a competition.

QLD Out of Lockdown: STAGE 1 from 15/5/2020 - STAGE 2 from 1/6/2020 - STAGE 3 from 10/7/2020

Queensland Little Athletics Centres are required under the current COVID-19 restrictions to record all attendance information at competitions and training. Gold Coast Little Athletics is using the QR code technology to register spectator attendance, or you can sign in at the canteen. We ask all Parents, Grand-Parents, Carers, Siblings, Committee and any other visitors to the GCLA Pizzey Park Athletics Track to sign in as you arrive and sign out, each Friday evening or for Wednesday training sessions.

Stage 3 has been in effect since the commencement of our 2020/2021 Summer Season and GCLA are following the LAQ Back on Track , Plans for Centres, Regions and Little Athletics Queensland (LAQ) to return to activities during COVID-19 restrictions. These guidelines have been d Return to Play rules and specific industry plans. Little Athletics falls under the Outdoor Field Group industry plan which has various concessions to the general population restrictions due to the non-contact, open nature of our sport and the immediate control we have over our activities. If there are any changes to the restrictions or additional stages added, LAQ will update this plan accordingly.

Physical distance is important off the field of play to help reduce the spread of the virus and to decrease the exposure from other people. This will need to be adhered to. To minimise the risk of spreading the infection, implementing the following measures to protect athletes, families, committee members and other volunteers:

Keep 1.5 metres between people off the field of play Avoid physical contact including shaking hands, high fives, or hugging Encourage volunteers and officials to bring their own equipment necessary to assist (pen, clipboard etc). Place posters around facilities with information on physical distancing Use barriers or markers to help identify 1.5 metres Send emails to members regarding these restrictions Consider replacing face-to-face meetings with online platforms If someone (or someone in their family is unwell) please ensure they stay home and avoid physical contact with other people.

Slowing the spread of COVID-19 can be achieved by ensuring good personal hygiene practices are adopted. Every event at Little Athletics requires equipment. Equipment is often shared so hygiene practices will be in place.

Have sanitising stations around the arena or at each individual event Do not allow athletes to share water bottles Ensure Field equipment is cleaned after each group of athletes uses it (ie U9 Girls or U11 Boys) Each athlete is should clean their hands before the start of their event and at the conclusion of the event. Where possible, have only one- s guns or stopwatches. If this is not possible, ensure that the equipment is cleaned before and after each person uses it If anyone attends your activity and is not well, ask them to go home Communicate hygiene practices with members.

Under Stage 3, contact and non-contact activity is permitted on field during training and competition. Physical distancing g areas, and operational areas (recording, announcing, photo finish) required to conduct the competition.

Full details of the -19 guidelines are on the LAQ website: laq.org.au

Gold Coast Little Athletics 2020 2021 Handbook 5

On behalf of the Gold Coast Little Athletics Committee I would like to extend a warm welcome to parents, guardians and athletes joining for the first time, as well as welcoming back past members and families.

We would also like to wish the departing athletes, families, and Committee all the very best for the future and thank them for their commitment to our club. A notable thanks must go to our now graduated U17 Club Captain, Joel Ottaway, who has shown exceptional leadership over the last 3 years and has taken charge of the equipment shed.

Our challenge for the new season is to Stay Safe, Stay Vigilant whilst being active. Returning members will notice a few changes since last season, as we introduce our Covid-19 safe plan and guidelines.

GCLA is one of the largest and successful Little Athletics clubs in Australia - the envy of many, whilst we uphold the Little Athletics philosophy of having fun, involving the whole family and show true sportsmanship. We offer learning for athletes and parents together as with welcoming senior athletes joining for the first time at 15-17 years of age.

We are a respected club believing in opportunities for active kids, regardless of the economy and for that reason try to keep of fees affordable. Little running, jumping, throwing, walking and most important friendships. If you are new to GCLA from another club, I am sure you would have noticed the GCLA club .

We hosted a hugely successful Regional Championship last season, which delivered a nice profit through the canteen and BBQ that is pumped back into the Regional clubs. I was also extremely proud of how well our athletes performed showing the other South Coast clubs why we are #1.. Overall, the 2019/2020 season was very exciting with so many athletes improving and finding success and new skills. Then, we went to the State Championships at QSAC Brisbane in March 2020, for 3 days; right up to the 11th hour (3pm) we were ready to go with day 1 of 3, only to be informed due to Covid-19 the QLD State Championships were CANCELLED! SHOCK! Yes, some of our athletes were at the track when Little Athletics Australia made this announcement to cancel ALL the State Championships Australia wide, that weekend. Subsequently, they also cancelled the LAA National Championships for 2020.

- get involved. Remember everyone on the field, in the clubhouse or in the canteen/bbq is a Volunteer and they do a fantastic job. It is important to note that there are no paid employees at this club and many of the centre Committee and Coaches, no longer have children competing at the club however continue to support the children of GCLA.

Thank you to the parents who despite not being on the committee, regularly assist week in, week out, engaging and assisting, not only with age management but timing, measuring, raking, recording, place judging etc. Parent support is integral for the club to function and behind the scenes with tasks such as set up and pack away of equipment, track maintenance, canteen, BBQ, carnivals etc. These tasks support your children with their love of athletics.

The Queensland Little Athletics Season 2020/2021 will definitely be one to remember as we will be operating under QLD Covid-19 guidelines in which we will follow all necessary instructions throughout. As with previous years we still plan to offer children the opportunity to compete at carnivals locally, throughout the State and Country - pending. We look forward to Relay Days in 2020, then Regionals and State Championships in 2021.

To help us through another successful season the handbook known as the Bluebook; has been compiled to assist all members old and new. Please read it carefully or find it on our website and refer to it throughout the year. If there is anything you do not understand please do not hesitate to ask myself or any other committee member, we will be happy to assist.

To keep up to date; with weekly programs, announcements, competition, training, events etc please check Facebook or the website as with the noticeboard outside the clubhouse. Please also remember that if you or your child is sick, please do not attend GCLA as per QLD government Covid-19 safe guidelines.

There will be times throughout the season when we as adults must keep our cool and be great role models to our children, treat motto, Family, Fun & Fitness.

Welcome to all, Good Luck, have some fun and enjoy Little Athletics.

Brayden Field (VC #2), Joel Ottaway (Captain #1), Matthew Hammans (VC #5)

In the 2019/2020 Season we were very pleased to have our three U17 boys representing us as our Club Captains, with two of these boys have been with the Gold Coast Little Athletics Club since U6 . A wonderful achievement in loyalty to the club by these athletes and their families. Joel Ottaway (from U6-U17 = 12 seasons) was Club Captain with Brayden Field (from U6-U17 = 11 seasons) and Matthew Hammans (from U9-U17 = 9 seasons), were the Vice-Captains.

With such strong leadership, they took control of the weekly set up for Track & Field events, ensuring that the correct equipment was distributed to the events so the Friday evening competition could commence on time and at the end of the evening, collecting all the equipment and packing it away into the shed. This included bulky items like the High Jump mats for flop and scissors which are loaded onto the trailer and put into place, and once a month the numerous Hurdles onto the front track, then packed away. These boys arrived early and were among the last to leave each week. During the school holidays Joel cleaned, straighten, painted, and audited the Track & Field Equipment in the shed and regularly makes recommendations to the GCLA Committee to replace broken equipment. Joel is currently working toward us obtaining new Hurdles for the club and is constantly on the lookout for government community grants or sponsorship to cover these.

The Club Captains assisted the Committee by drawing the Athlete of the Week , presenting Improvement Medals, and taking the Athletes warm-up each week. Joel & Matthew were regulars at Wednesday night training to run and assist ng involved and enjoyed these sessions. These boys also demonstrated on Fridays the technical skills involved with events like walks & hurdles.

The captains attended the LAQ Regional Relays & LAQ QLD State Relays in November & December 2019 and showed leadership at the events and competed strongly, to bring home Regional and QLD State medals for the Club. They chose their favourite events for the Regional Championships in February 2020 and assisted in the running of the day as this was hosted by us at Pizzey Park. They were set to represent the South Coast Region at in the U17 events in Brisbane in the Queensland Little Athletics State Championships, in March 2020, when Covid-19 caused the cancellation of the event. That weekend all sporting events across Australia were being cancelled at the recommendation of the Australian Government on advice from the World Health Organization, so Australian Little Athletic made the decision late on Friday afternoon to cancel ALL State Championships across Australia that weekend.

The GCLA Committee wish to thank Joel, Matthew & Brayden for the work they put into the 2019/2020 Season. They have done a tremendous job and set a standard high for the next crop of Club Captains.

Anyone interested in being a GCLA Club Captain from the U15-U17 age group, should see our GCLA Centre Manager, Nicole Hoy or have a chat to Joel Ottaway about his 3 years of Club Captaincy experience as he will be around to guide the incoming Captains. Athletes please note, we start looking 6-12 months in advance for leadership qualities!

Gold Coast Little Athletics would like to thank our outgoing Committee Members for their involvement & time with us. Our Club runs on volunteers and the support of parents stepping in to assist weekly and then joining the Committee, is a vital part of running a successful Club and p will mention some of the regular things they helped with, to give an idea of the variety of jobs available:

Kara Phillips, our shining light behind the scenes, took care of the cl school carnivals & cross countries in the off season, coordinated canteen purchases, cooking on the BBQ or selling in or answer parents emails. Dean Anderson held positions of Centre Manager and Assistant Centre Manager, he was a race starter, walks judge, high jump official, assisted weekly equipment set up / pack up, ground marking and attended pre-season working bees. Richard Capps and Todd Ransome both took on roles as Club Coaches in throws and jumps and helped with the ; assisted with the set-up of competition equipment; and officials for Centre Championships, Regional Relays & Regional Championships.

Helping at GCLA can become a family affair and the partners of our exiting Committee were also involved as Age Managers, results recording official at Regional Championship and uniform seamstress, to get the Rego number on! We wish to thank our outgoing Committee and their families for the wonderful contributions to our Club over the years and wish them future happiness and success.

If you would like more information or to assist with any of these jobs mentioned, please have a chat to Nicole Hoy, our GCLA Centre Manager or any of the Committee about becoming involved. We are always on the lookout for people to learn new roles within the Club and happy show you what is involved. Remember we are ALL Volunteers at GCLA.

You will also see how your children are coached in events.

We will be adopting this LAQ statement of Inclusion and Diversity Statement, when completed. We do however already following the ideals of including all athletes regardless of their background.

The Emphasis for Young Athletes is Having Fun!

CHILDREN ARE NOT TO BE AT THE GCLA GROUNDS UNLESS ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT

GCLA Centre is located near certain features which have the potential to be dangerous, particularly for younger children. GCLA Committee has ruled these areas and warns parents and athletes of their locations as follows:

Toilets other than those connected to the clubhouse. The canal at the rear (west) of the athletic field. The lakes to the north of the athletic field. The drain at the south of the athletic field. The Institute of Sport Kayaking & Triathlon Complex (large green building at the southern corner of the field.) The timekeepers and place judges stands at the finish line. The GCLA Equipment Shed.

No athlete will be allowed to compete unless accompanied by a responsible adult. Leaving your child unattended is dangerous and is not fair to their fellow athletes, the Age Marshalls, other parents, or the Committee.

Gold Coast Little Athletics 2020 2021 Handbook 15

fees, is open to all and focuses predominantly on the teaching of basic skills for all events. Parents are also encouraged to attend this session so as they can become familiar with warm-up and warm-down routines together with the different types of stretching which are so important for young growing bodies. The assistance of parents and more senior athletes is eagerly sought on these afternoons and assists the coaches to focus more on coaching, than behaviour management. Special coaching sessions may be held prior to the Regional Relay Day.

In addition to the Wednesday sessions various squad sessions are held. These sessions focus more on the specific events and incorporate technique, coordination and strength/conditioning which enable all athletes to further develop their skills and abilities. Squad sessions are generally not suitable for athletes younger than ten years old.

The aim of Introduction to Coaching (ITC) is to provide parents, teachers and interested sports people who have little or no experience of the sport of track and field with coaching information and activities.

Introduction to Coaching courses are conducted by LAQ & QA for beginner coaches giving participants a sound basic knowledge and are particularly appropriate for people coaching young athletes at the grass roots level. GCLA will reimburse the cost of any person attending the Introduction to Coaching course if they are able to assist with coaching our athletes at Wednesday afternoon coaching sessions. Reimbursements are accessed at the end of the season by the Committee, based on attendance. No prior knowledge or experience is required, just enthusiasm.

For further information about coaching and coaching courses please speak to our Head Coaching Officer, and/or check the website and noticeboard.

To enable GCLA to conduct the events held weekly at our Centre, we require the assistance of parents. Little Athletics is a junior sport that needs more parent involvement than any other.

Without parent assistance we cannot run the events smoothly for your children. The duties you will be called upon to perform require little athletic knowledge or experience and consist of timekeeping, place judging, measuring heights and distances, recording results and acting as age marshals. The duties are easy to learn, and key officials will explain the requirements of each event.

This list indicates the minimum number of helpers required to conduct our Friday night programs:

EQUIPMENT Set up and Pack away 4-6 helpers 3 starters, 2 distance timekeepers, 2 sprints timing gate TRACK operators, 6 place judges (2 x sprints, distance & back)

FIELD Shot Put, Discus, Javelin 1 judge, 1 spiker, 1 measurer, 1 recorder, 1 returner Long and Triple Jump 1 judge, 1 spiker, 1 measurer, 1 recorder, 1 raker High Jump 1 judge, 2 bar attendants, 1 recorder AGE MARSHALLS 24 required (one for each Age Group for girls & boys) 1 x food collection, 2 x food preparation, 1 BBQ cook, CANTEEN minimum 3 helpers for sales in canteen. RESULTS 3 x results data entry

Note: We need nearly 60 parents involved each week to make it work Remember this is for your children - GET INVOLVED AND HAVE FUN!

A huge THANK YOU to all the hardworking Parents, Grandparents and Guardians who spend countless

Being an official is not just work. Being out on the field where it is all happening is really good fun and many officials nd are a

GCLA is one of the biggest little athletics clubs in the state and we need to have accredited officials to support this. A strong club needs to have the majority of its parent members accredited to ensure we are giving our athletes the best chance out on the track and field by advising them of the correct rules. Unfortunately, we see far too often, athletes making it to regional and state levels, only to be disqualified or fouled for some minor infringement that they should have known prior to reaching this level. There are many misunderstandings of the rules even by parents and athletes that have been involved for several years.

The transition of the new scheme for all those who hold an officials card is below. Keep in mind that your accreditation needs to be frequently updated. The general rule is every two years.

OLD LEVEL D LEVEL C LEVEL B LEVEL A

NEW LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 LEVEL 4 LEVEL 5

It is an expectation of the current committee that any parents who are assisting out on the track to become accredited with the minimum qualification of an official. This will ensure that all athletes are abiding by the correct rules.

LAQ recognises that people with a disability have the same rights to equality as the rest of the community and that people with a disability become involved in sport for the same reasons as their able-bodied peers. LAQ aim to provide an inclusive environment in which barriers to involvement are removed and all people with a disability feel welcome and comfortable to participate.

At a centre level, athletes with a disability can access regular activities at a Little Athletics Centre. Often an athlete with a disability will be totally integrated into the existing program without the need for modifications.

The 2021 Coles Australian Little Athletics Championships are planned for 23 24 April 2021, at the Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park, Melbourne, VIC

Gold Coast Little Athletics 2020 2021 Handbook 22 Weekly athletic meets are held each Friday evening at the oval, commencing with important announcements and warm ups at 5.30pm. We are not limited to a finishing time. The more parent help we have, the earlier we may finish.

Competition and training sessions are preceded by warm up exercises and drills. Participation by athletes in this session is essential for the prevention of injuries such as sprains or strains. Parents should also become familiar with these exercises, as warm up for your children, in the absence of coaches, will be your responsibility at Regional and LAQ competitions. Parents should also be aware that it is a good practice to have warm down activities to assist the athletes. Although the athletes may not gain the full benefit of the warm up on the Friday night competition the greatest endeavour of this process is to get the children into the good habit of a warm up and stretch before and after exercise.

Cancelling competitions is not always an easy decision; we try to proceed whenever possible. Please be understanding. If wet, please refer to our Gold Coast Little Athletics Facebook for cancellation information (after 4pm). If nothing is posted, assume we will be operating as normal. However, weather conditions can change quickly, and we may abandon a competition evening part way through, if necessary.

GCLA maintains records of the individual performances of each athlete on every Centre competition day via ResultsHQ. All children can and are encouraged to keep a complete record of their performances and improvements at home. If you notice a discrepancy on ResultsHQ then let us know. If for any reason that an athlete does not complete an event, please ensure that a DNF (did not finish) or FOUL where applicable is recorded for that event to ensure that points are still recorded.

GCLA Centre Ground Records can only be set at GCLA Friday night competitions. All GCLA Centre Records MUST be verified by and signed off by an official before that event can be continued. The Officials at GCLA who can verify records are: Steve Langley, Chris Lewis, Nicole Hoy. The implement thrown must be held for inspection and the spike left in the ground, the High Jump bar must be left in place, spike must be left in the sand and sand left undisturbed for Long & Triple Jump. If High Jump is approaching the Record height, then call for an official the check the bar before the jump. Claimed records that have not been verified will not be accepted.

We ask for Age Marshals to be aware of the existing records for their age groups prior to starting events.

Walk records will be verified only if the event has been judged by 4 or more officials. Non-gated track records must have two clocks on 1st place to be verified. Only Registered GCLA Members can break Centre Records. Trialists cannot break GLCA Centre Records.

Age group Best Performances are the best performances for the season for each age group for each event set only at GCLA Friday night competition nights as recorded on ResultsHQ.

Best Performance Records can be set at any LAQ, South Coast Regional event or GCLA Competition night. These records must be confirmed by the official results that are sent to GCLA. Times, distances and heights must be equal to or better than the existing ground record or the current best performance at an outside competition.

CORRECT UNIFORM MUST BE WORN ON GCLA CENTRE FRIDAY NIGHTS

Gold Coast Little Athletics 2020 2021 Handbook 23 There shall be no Point score or All-Round Centre Championships for the U6, U7 and U8 age groups.

Every U6 U8 athlete who has participated on 75% of their registered nights and registers to attend Presentation Day receives a Participation Trophy on Presentation Day. They also receive a Gold Coast Little Athletics certificate with

We are often left with many trophies and certificates at the end of the season and the associated, ever increasing cost and time invested could be better utilised on items such as equipment for your children. As such we believe the above criteria are not excessive and will be adhered to.

Every year early in the season a Committee member will hold a meeting with the Under 13 and 15 athletes to discuss the process and criteria to be eligible for consideration for Queensland State Team selection for the Australian Team Championships. It is important to be aware of this criteria to avoid disappointment. Notice will be given as to when this meeting will be held, usually around week four after most athletes have registered. If you miss this meeting, please see a Committee member for your information. Unfortunately, LAA had not yet released these details at end Oct 2020.

This is an LAQ rule that is strictly adhered to: To be eligible for Queensland State Team selection, Athletes must have competed in 4 Centre Competition nights/days before Regional Championships.

GCLA Athletes selected into the Queensland Team after the Little Athletics QLD State Championships and confirmed as attending the Little Athletics Australian Team Championships may apply to the GCLA Committee for some financial assistance. This subsidy is based on number of seasons with the GCLA Club, competition nights attended by the athlete over the years . This will be assessed by the GCLA Committee each year, on an individual basis. The 2020 Australian Team Championships will be held in Canberra in 2021 at a date to be decided.

Points are awarded throughout the season for the U9 U17 age groups as follows:

Attendance on Friday Night 50 points Each event attempted 20 points Each New Personal Best 5 points Each equal Personal Best 2 points Competing at Regional Relay Day 20 points per event competed.

The emphasis for the Point Score is on attendance and participation. Therefore, the more nights you attend and the more events you participate in, the more points you earn.

Athletes who are unable to attend a Friday Night Competition are able to make up missed points at another Centre or LAQ event. Only the attendance and events points are given for the makeup, performance points will not be allocated for these events and cannot be used for Centre Improvement medals. Make ups must be made within 2 weeks of when the athlete returns to competition. A maximum of 2 make ups are allowed per athlete per season.

Trophies are awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each age group. In addition to these trophies, all athletes who have participated on 75% of their registered nights and register to attend Presentation Day receive a Gold Coast Little Athletics certificate for their performances on Presentation Day.

Gold Coast Little Athletics 2020 2021 Handbook 24 The All Round GCLA Centre Championships are for the U9 U17 age groups, will return to our regular Centre Championship Format with the first of the 3 x Club Championship nights commencing on 29th January 2021 then each second week. Our 2020/2021 GCLA Centre Championships will be held on 29/1/2021, 12/2/2021 & 26/2/2021 with back up nights available, if required.

The Championships cover each event once and results are worked out on a Pentathlon points system. Competitors receive points for their performance NOT their placing Therefore, the best athlete overall will be the winner. To be no makeup of events is provided). Competition starts at 5.45pm sharp, late arrivals may join in the current event (eg: if the age group has completed two full rounds of shot put, the late arrival is entitled to one throw in round three only). If the whole age group has completed an event the late arrival misses out.

Athletes must compete for 2 of the 3 nights to be eligible for Centre Championships trophies. Trophies are awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each group.

This Queensland Little Athletics Award is presented to the athlete from any Little Athletics Centre in Queensland who has achieved the greatest number of improvements over a period of any ten weeks from the first competition day of the season to three weeks prior to the State Championships, during Centre Club competitions only. Each Little Athletics Centre is invited to nominate one athlete for the Laurie Baartz Memorial Trophy, and this season, the Gold Coast Little Athletics nominated athlete was successful for the fourth year in a row.

Congratulations to Josh Osborne of GCLA U13 Boys in winning this prestigious Little Athletics Queensland Award for the 2020 season.

GCLA athletes have won this QLD State Award for the last 4 years: 2017 Ashanti Heap U12G, 2018 Carla Hernandez Gonzales U10G and 2019 Seth Mitchell U13B.

The George Harvey Award is presented each year to one boy and girl in the U15 U17 Age Group, who have been with Little Athletics for a minimum of 5 years and who best demonstrate they embrace the ideals of Little Athletics Queensland. Eligibility for the award is not restricted by athletic ability but looks at regular attendees of Centre and Regional competitions and having displayed a willingness to participate in the full range of Little Athletics events. The athlete should have been an ambassador for Little Athletics, proud of his/her involvement in the sport and have promoted it amongst his/her peers. LEADERSHIP: Provides an example to others & shows a desire to assist in the development of skills in others RESPECT: PERSEVERANCE: Performs with determination to attain personal goals even if difficulties & setbacks are encountered SPORTSMANSHIP: Abides by a code of fair play and is gracious in victory and defeat ENTHUSIASM: Irrespective of ability, displays a keenness to become involved in all activities

Our Club last winner of this Little Athletics Queensland State Award was Joel Ottaway in 2017/2018 season. Joel has now graduated from GCLA competition but you will see Joel as a Sprints or Distance Race Starter, setting up and packing up equipment for Friday competition, stocktaking the equipment shed, at Wednesday Training nights, attending off season working bees, showing leadership and Track Officiating at Club, Regional & State LAQ competitions. Joel was also our Club Captain in 2019/2020, 2018/2019 & Vice-Captain in 2017/2018. If an athlete is interested in being nominated for this award, then we recommend they start helping and displaying the above 5 qualities.

Gold Coast Little Athletics 2020 2021 Handbook 25 One of the aims of Little Athletics is to improve the athletic performance of our members and to provide some incentive for children to improve. We have a system of performance level indicators and achievement awards to this end. Everyone likes to win but not all are able to. All however, are capable of improving. Our achievement awards therefore recognise and reward improvements, not just winners.

The following awards meet this aim:

Each child, upon registering will receive a Centre Improvement Sheet. Performances from each week are recorded on these sheets, any improvements are highlighted. When the required number of improvements has been reached, improvement sheets are handed into the GCLA Records Officer for verification against ResultsHQ. Improvement medals are awarded after verification by GCLA.

Athletes can improve on their own performances; therefore, every child has the opportunity of earning a medal. Start recording your performances from the first night and then every Friday night throughout the season right up to our last competition night. Encourage your child to fill in their own improvement sheet each week and watch how quickly they improve

All athletes can strive to receive the red, or each event, which are set by LAQ. Once an athlete has achieved a level in 3 disciplines, eg: Sprints, middle distance/walks, jumps or throws, they A Gold Achievement Levels is also available.

Athletes achievements are available to GCLA via ResultsHQ so we issue bulk Awards throughout the Season.

An athlete with regular attendance who is always trying and always smiling even though they may never win will be awarded this Shield.

The coaches award is presented to an athlete who has shown dedication in their training throughout the season.

The best all round club person (athlete) is awarded this Shield.

The Club Captains Award is awarded to an athlete who stands out from the rest by always helping out, always having fun and really enjoying all aspects of Little Athletics.

Selected in conjunction with age marshals.

Awarded to the male and female athletes who have achieved the most number of improvements throughout the season during Friday night competitions only.

Gold Coast Little Athletics 2020 2021 Handbook 27 As we enter out 44th Season of Gold Coast Little Athletics, we thought it would be interesting to look back to see the achievements of some of our athletes. Many have gone onto other sports, but all have been members of Gold Coast Little Athletics. We hope from seeing what some of our past athletes have achieved will be inspirational to our current crop of athletes. If you know of other, please advise our Blue Book Coordinator by emailing us.

Unfortunately, due to the worldwide pandemic outbreak of COVID-19, Little Athletics Australia made the decision to CANCEL ALL Little Athletics State Championships, Australia wide that weekend in late March 2020. This decision was made at 3pm on the Friday afternoon as Athletes, Parents and Officials were preparing to commence with the race walks being the first events of the 3 Day Queensland State Championships. Many people had travelled to Brisbane from other parts of Queensland and were advised to return home as soon as possible.

This decision was made, as earlier that day an announcement was made by the Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, acting the advice from the World Health Organization, combined with the Australia Department of Health, placed Australia under emergency COVID-19 Pandemic restrictions and advised us that the international boarders would be closing. Not long after the some States closed the boarders leaving Queensland one of the few states able to reopen up to Queenslander in July 2020 and host many national sporting events including relocating all AFL Teams to the Gold Coast, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast and taking the AFL Grand Final out of Victoria for the first time in history. A crowd of 40,000 was allowed into the Gabba in Brisbane for the Grand Final, with Covid-19 restrictions.

Little Athletics Australia cancelled the LAA National Championship for 2020, as no state qualifying events were able to be held as people were restricted to local suburbs and unable to travel interstate, due to closed State Borders.

No Competitors as Event CANCELLED in 2020 due to COVID-19 Australian Government Restrictions
