Grovedale Little Athletics Club is a volunteer run organisation, the Club cannot operate without the assistance of parents each week in fulfilling the many and varied duties required. These include officiating at an event; managing an age group; recording results; to name just a few. Grovedale have a duty roster and we are in charge of a high jump mat, a long jump pit, a discus cage and circulars (races that involve more than 1 lap of the track).
Additional assistance is always required on the Club committee and all parents are encouraged to become involved.
Little Athletics is one of the few sports where parents can become fully involved in their child's sporting interests. Any parents who have current Working with Children Cards can provide a copy to Club or in turn you can apply here as a volunteer through Grovedale. https://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au
Parents Charter
As a parent or guardian of a child/ren registered to participate at Springvale Little Athletics Centre, I recognise, accept and commit to the following:
Grovedale Uniform
Grovedale Little Athletes must wear the Grovedale uniform. The uniform is a yellow, black and white top (T-shirt, singlet or crop top) and plain black shorts/briefs (basketball or board shorts not permitted). Uniforms can be purchased from the Grovedale sign-in desk on competition days.
It is compulsory to wear your patch each week
All club members are supplied with a plastic registration patch with their name and an identifying number and barcode that needs to be worn each week, attached to their singlet with 4 safety pins (which will be provided or available at the Grovedale sign in-desk). Athletes are responsible for wearing the registration patch each week which is used to record results at each event and the barcode is scanned after track events. Lost patches can be replaced for $10 at the competition office.
General expectations
Grovedale Little Athletics Club provides an environment of enjoyment and good sportsmanship for athletes and their families. It is expected that athletes and/or families will abide by the following in order to maintain that positive environment.
