Uniform & Footwear Information
When your child puts on the Caloundra Little Athletics uniform, they’re doing more than getting ready to compete, they’re becoming part of our team.
Our blue and gold uniform represents the Caloundra Little Athletics family. Whether it’s a Friday night at our home track or competing at Regional Relays, Regional Championships or State Championships, every athlete proudly represents our club, their teammates and our community.
Wearing the correct uniform also allows officials to easily identify athletes and ensures all competitions are conducted fairly and safely.

The official Caloundra Little Athletics uniform is compulsory for all athletes from Under 6 to Under 17.
Athletes must wear:

Uniform Options
Ordering Your Uniform
Uniforms can be ordered online via our shop or in person on our pack collection dates or club competition nights.

We recommend ordering uniforms before the season begins to ensure your athlete is competition-ready for Round 1.
Registration Bib
Following registration, each athlete will receive their season registration bib in the mail.
The registration bib must always be attached to the front centre of the uniform and remain clearly visible during competition.
Footwear
Enclosed sports shoes are compulsory for every athlete, including Tiny Tots.
Football boots and cleats are not permitted.
Spikes
Competitors in the U6 to U10 age groups are not permitted to wear spike shoes. Many of our younger athletes prefer to wear athletics ‘waffles’ which are spikeless shoes that have a lugged rubber sole that look and feel like spikes. However please note that waffles are not mandatory and regular sports shoes are fine.
Athletes from U11 age group and upwards are able to wear spikes in appropriate events as detailed below:
- Competitors in the U11 to U12 age groups may wear spike shoes in long jump, triple jump, high jump and javelin and in events run entirely in lanes.
- Competitors in the U13 to U17 age groups may wear spike shoes in long jump, triple jump, high jump, javelin and in all track events (except walks).
- Spike shoes with spikes removed shall not be worn by any competitors in events where they are not able to wear spike shoes.
- Spike shoes must only be worn during an event and are not to be worn to and from an event.
- Spiked shoes must not be worn in the stand or outer areas of the track.
- Spiked shoes should be carried in a suitable bag at all times and stored safely when not in use.
- On synthetic track: spikes must be no longer than 7mm.
- On synthetic field: spikes must be no longer than 9mm.
- On grass track or field: spikes must be no longer than 12mm.
- Any number of spikes up to 11 may be accommodated on each shoe, but the number of spike positions shall not exceed 11.
- Spike shoes must be worn with all holes filled with a complete set of spikes, with no more than two blanks / slugs installed.
