Under 6 to Under 8 Little Athletics Teams Challenge

The U6-U8 Teams Challenge is an exciting event designed for our youngest little athletes to participate in team-based activities against athletes from other Little Athletics Centres. The activities focus on fun, fundamental movement, and motor skill development through engaging, game-like challenges. While there is a competitive element, modified rules and specifications ensure the emphasis remains on enjoyment and participation rather than individual performance.

This event follows the age-appropriate developmental guidelines set by Little Athletics Australia and Athletics Australia, acknowledging that children are not simply miniature adults and that early performance does not predict future athletic ability.
