Welcome Trialist
We’re so excited to have you trial with us at Caloundra Little Athletics! It’s a fun, no pressure way for your child to give athletics a go and see what it’s all about. Whether they love to run, jump or throw, we’re here to support them every step of the way.
How do I sign up to be a triallist?
You are welcome to come down and speak to one of our friendly committee at either sign on dates or from 4.45pm on Friday Competition nights.
How many trial nights can my child attend?
Athletes are welcome to trial up to two times anytime between now and Christmas. These nights don’t need to be consecutive. Simply come when it suits your family.
What does trialling involve?
To take part, you’ll need to pre-purchase a trial wristband for your child. On the night, your triallist will join in with our regular athletes and get a real feel for how a typical Friday night runs.
What happens on a Friday night?
We kick of with a group warm-up at 5.15pm, and the night usually runs for about 2 hours (tiny tots finish earlier, around 6.30pm). After warm-up, head over to the age group trolley bags that match your child’s age (listed on their wristband). There, you’ll meet your age manager, who will guide both athletes and parents through each event for the evening.
What should my child wear?
We recommend your child wears comfortable clothes they can run, jump, and play in like shorts/leggings and a t-shirt. Closed in shoes are compulsory for all athletes, including our Tiny Tots, no exceptions.
How much does it cost to trial?
Trialling cost $10 for two nights and includes a wristband for your child. Wristbands can be purchased at our sign on/registration pack collection dates or before 4.45pm on competition nights at the field.
A note about the start of the season:
With over 100 athletes and many new families, the first few nights can feel a little busy, but don’t worry! Things settle into a smooth rhythm quickly, and we’re always here to help along the way.
