Yass athletes to compete in ACT State Championships
12/03/2010

The ACT State Championships will be held on the weekend March 20-21 at the AIS. It’s an amazing event and a fantastic opportunity for our kids to use the same facilities where Olympic athletes have trained and competed. As soon as the programme is available, it will appear on our website www.ylac.org.au, so keep checking. We are hoping to have some extra coaches on Tuesday night to help those athletes who qualified; unfortunately, they weren’t able to come this week. Meanwhile, have a look at the event fact sheets on our website, also available is the officials guide, which will let you know what the officials are looking for in regard to fouls, etc.

There have been some changes to the results from the Northside Regional Little Athletics Carnival, which was held on the weekend of February 27 and 28. The following athletes have qualified for the ACT State Championships: Rhiannon Davis: Long Jump, Discus, Shot Put; Sarah Davison: Long Jump, Shot Put, 800m; Molly Freeman: 100m, 60m Hurdles, High Jump, Long Jump, 200m; Peyton Freeman: Long Jump, 60m Hurdles, High Jump, 70m; Hannah Glassford: Shot Put, 800m, Alyssa Kemp: Discus, Shot Put; Jamie Luff: High Jump; Callan Smith: 100m; Angus Williams: 800m, 200m; Rosie Williams: 800m. This is an amazing achievement for a small club, considering that 10 out of the 12 athletes who competed have qualified for the next stage of competition. Unfortunately, Rachel Glassford and Georgia Thompson didn’t qualify, but they did earn points for our club by competing in their events. Well done.

There is only two meets left for the season. Our last night will be on March 23. The night will include some fun events, a sausage sizzle and the presentations to the athletes. More details will be available next week.

This week’s feature group is the under 6s. They took part in the On Track Programme this week which is a definite favourite, as well as competed in Shot Put, 50m and 100m.

Two Coates and a Davidson at Lanyon
12/02/2010

Entries are now closed for the Lanyon Little Athletics Carnival, to be held this Sunday. Esther Coates, Tom Coates and Sarah Davidson will be three athletes representing Yass in track and field events. We wish them all the best.

The next big event is the Northside Regional Carnival, to be held on Saturday and Sunday February 27-28.

The carnival will be held at Wright Park, Queanbeyan, just behind Spotlight. It’s a great day for athletes and if they qualify in an event at the carnival, they have the opportunity to compete at the ACT Little Athletics Carnival at the world class AIS.

Those athletes who are heading to either carnival should check out our website ylac.org.au. Event fact sheets are available, with the basic rules for each event and as well as letting you know when a foul will be recorded and how each event is measured. The carnivals will be quite structured and strict with their judging, in order to be fair to everyone. Have a read of the fact sheets and brush up on your knowledge of each event.

Thanks to all those parents who continue to help out each week, your help is really appreciated.

This week’s feature group is the under 10s. They competed in discus, 100m, high jump and 400m. Their times and distances recorded are as follows:

Mikaela Doggett: D 10.64m, 100m 17.71sec, HJ 95cm, 400m 2.07.87min; Jack Godfrey: D 15.20m, 100m 17.34sec, HJ 1.05cm, 400m 1.45.39min; Jack Harris: D 13.17m, 100m 20.22sec, HJ 95cm, 400m 1.45.15min; Tibby Shannon: D 9.14m, 100m 20.07sec, HJ 95cm, 400m 1.48.09min; Ezra Swadling: D 6.23m, 100m 28.78sec, 400m 3.03.93min, Georgia Thompson: D 8.77m, 100m 19.43sec, HJ 90cm; Rosie Williams: D 9.58m, 100m 18.96sec, HJ 90cm, 400m 1.38.00min; Stephanie Witt: D 6.12m, 100m 22.52sec, HJ 90cm, 400m 2.19.20min.

Little athletes hit the track
05/02/2010

Little Athletics resumed on Tuesday night for the remainder of the season. As expected the athletes were full of enthusiasm and had a great night. If you know someone who would like to join Little Athletics, it’s not too late. Registration is half price to join for the remainder of the season.

Cath Williams, our President, has information on some grants for which we may be eligible. If your child is involved in Little Athletics and you would like to apply on our behalf, please see Cath. Extra income from grants would be a welcome bonus to our small club.

The number of parents available to help on Tuesday was a little low. The more parents we have, the more events we can run and the less waiting for the kids. We found we had to combine groups in order to have enough parents to supervise and run events. If your child is complaining about having to wait too long for a turn at events, or is disappointed when they don’t get a ticket for each event, perhaps you could consider volunteering. It’s almost impossible for one parent to run a group alone. It’s not difficult, but the more parents, grandparents, friends etc we get, the smoother things run.

On Track continues to be popular. The kids are taught skills needed for track and field events in a fun way. There is little waiting around and they all get plenty of turns at each activity.

The Lanyon Carnival is coming soon. The carnival will be held on Sunday February 14. The entry cost is $5 and entry is open to all 6-17 year-old registered athletes. Medals will be awarded in each final and all athletes will receive participation ribbons for every event.

Entries close today, so if you are interested, please contact our president, president@ylac.org.au. More details are available on our website www.ylac.org.au.

The Northside Regional Carnival will be held on Saturday and Sunday February 27-28. It is open to athletes from the under 8s through to under 17s. Entries close on Saturday February 13, with no extra cost.

Once again, please let us know if you want to enter and more information, including the programme, is available on our website. Athletes must qualify in an event at this carnival in order to compete at the ACT Little Athletics Carnival. It’s a great weekend and well worth the effort to go.

This week’s feature group is the under 11s. They took part in 200m, discus, On Track and 800m. Their times for 200m, Discus and 800m are as follows:

Josh Baldwin D 12.39m, 800m 4.41min; Shaun Button 200m 39.74sec, D 11.84m, 800m 4.29min; Rachel Glassford 200m 42.72sec, D 6.94m, 800m 4.45min; Breanna Hickey 200m 38.89sec, D 8.11m, 800m 3.45min; Bayley Maher 200m 34.28sec, D 12.06m, 800m 3.17min; Benjamin Medway 200m 34.30sec, D 13.97m, 800m 3.25min; Erin Stranks 200m 35.88sec, D 10.05m, 800m 3.29min.

Congratulations to Tom Callaghan who represented Yass in the ACT Little Athletics Relay Carnival on Sunday at the AIS. Tom competed in the 4 x 100m relay, the 4 x 400m relay and Shot Put. He earned 10.25 points on the club ladder, placing us 14th, behind the larger clubs, but still ahead of Cooma, Bega and Jindabyne. Well done Tom.

Tuesday night was the last night of Little Athletics for the year. Next week’s meet has been cancelled due another clash with end of year activities. Athletics will recommence on Tuesday 2nd February 2010. Keep an eye on our website, ylac.org.au, over the holidays. Any new information will be posted there. Thankyou to all those who have helped out this half of the season, we really appreciate your help. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year.

If you want to do something to break up the holidays, don’t forget the Woden/Weston Carnival to be held on Saturday 16th January 2010. Please contact Cath Williams if you are planning to attend, her email address is president@ylac.org.au. It’s a great opportunity to represent Yass and put some more points on the club ladder. All athletes that attend will receive a participation ribbon. An entry fee of $5 applies and is payable at the gate on the day. More information, including the events taking place that day, is available on our website.

ACT carnival this weekend
04/12/2009

Numbers of athletes were down a little at Little Athletics this week, along with numbers of parent helpers. Parents are reminded that if your child’s name appears on the roster, at least one parent/guardian needs to help that child’s age group for the night. If you are unable to be there, perhaps a friend or relative could take your place for the evening. The best way to keep the kids interested is to be involved yourself. Thanks to all the parents who have helped out, some have come every week whether they are rostered on or not and their efforts are greatly appreciated.

Entries have now closed for the ACT Little Athletics Relay Carnival, which is to be held this Sunday at the AIS. If you missed out, don’t forget the Woden/Weston Carnival, which is to be held on Saturday 16th January 2010 at Woden Park, Ainsworth Street, Phillip. Entries don’t close until 8th January 2010, so please let Cath know if you are interested, either Tuesday nights or by email president@ylac.org.au. Registered athletes of all ages are eligible to attend and entry cost is $5. You don’t have to be a super athlete to take part; you just have to be willing to have a go. Track and field events will be run over the day and all athletes will receive a participation ribbon. Place ribbons will be awarded to the first three place-getters in all events.

This week’s group is the Under 6s. This week they took part in Shot Put, Long Jump and 100m. Their recordings for Shot Put and 100m are:
Charlie Beck SP 2.38m, 100m 26.01sec, Cecilia Chambers SP 2.16, 100m 28.18sec, Chrissie Davis SP 1.59m, 100m 30.43sec, James Glassford SP 2.10m, 100m 36.05sec, Shaun Harris SP 3.00m, 100m 24.77sec, Ella Hart SP 2.29m, 100m 29.75sec, Emma Kelly SP 2.29m, 100m 23.91sec, Ursula Kemmis SP 2.00m, 100m 28.18sec, Emma Medway SP 1.51m, 100m 25.37sec, Logan Parkes SP 2.68m, 100m 29.95sec, Tayla Silcock SP 2.10m, 100m 28.47sec, Charlotte Smith SP 1.61m, 100m 40.85sec, Jacob Topping SP 1.57m, 100m 39.31sec, Riley Wilson SP 2.50m, 100m 27.10sec, Zoe Wright SP 1.81m, 100m 31.90sec, Riley Glover SP 2.10m, 100m 35.64sec, Aliyah Pavlovic SP 1.81m, 100m 27.31sec, Chelsea Shannon SP 1.31m, 100m 25.23sec, Anthony Chambers SP 2.38m.

New coaches among the crowd
27/11/2009

Two of our regular helpers, Esther Glover and Linda Swadling, took part in a Level One coaching course on the weekend, run by the Australian Track and Field Coaches Association. The accreditation is recognised by all Athletics Bodies in Australia and was held at the AIS. Most of the coaches from the Association have coached National and International athletes, including Olympic athletes. The course was hands-on, with Esther and Linda having to participate and be coached themselves in all events. Esther says it was fantastic. Our athletes are sure to benefit from their experience. They were sponsored by McDonalds Yass and we wish to thank Karen Rae, the owner, for her generous support. Karen attended Little Athletics on Tuesday night and ran some activities for the preschool-aged siblings of our registered athletes. They had lots of fun, thanks Karen.

Would you like to compete against athletes from other centres in the ACT region? Want to compete where Olympic athletes have competed? Then you should enter the ACT Little Athletics Association Relay Carnival. It’s being held on Sunday 6th December at the Australian Institute of Sport Athletics Track. All registered athletes from Under 7s up to Under 17s are eligible to enter, regardless of athletic ability. Please let Cath Williams know on Tuesday night if you are interested, or email her at president@ylac.org.au. You can enter the field events as an individual, get a team together and enter the relay or do both.

This week’s feature group is the Under 9s. On Tuesday night, they competed in Long Jump, 200m, Shot Put and 800m.
Emily Connor LJ 2.65m, 200m 42.24sec, SP 3.61m, 800m 3.56min, George Elliot LJ 2.70m, 200m 35.73, SP 4.80m, 800m 3.34min, Peyton Freeman LJ 2.55m, 200m 40.25sec, SP 3.77m, 800m 3.56min, Elise Kapetanaokos LJ 1.60m, 200m 47.75sec, SP 2.30m, 800m 4.45min, Angus Kemmis LJ 2.62m, 200m 41.68, SP 5.09m, 800m 3.59min, Lachlan Medway LJ 2.30m, 200m 50.78sec, SP 3.28m, 800m 4.27min, Blake Smith LJ 1.68m, 200m 1.03.64min, SP 2.75m, 800m 4.42min, Aylisha Sutton LJ 2.58m, 200m 41.93, SP 3.21m, 800m 4.31min.

While Tuesday night was a little cooler, summer starts next week and hot weather will soon return. Could athletes please remember a labelled water bottle, labelled hat and apply sunscreen before coming. Water bottles and hats are being left behind each week, so if you are missing one it may be in lost property.

Don’t forget to check out our website, ylac.org.au, for details about the Relay Carnival, Event Fact Sheets and photos of our athletes in action.

Little Athletics Tribe hits 160
20/11/2009

A huge congratulations to our Treasurer, Ingrid Swanson, who was married here in Yass last weekend. Best wishes from everyone at Little Athletics.

Over 160 athletes, parents and family took part in our meet Tuesday night. Thankyou to all those parents who helped in any way. Don’t forget, we need at least one parent/guardian to help out for each child that appears on the roster. The more parents who help, the smoother the night runs and the more we get done.

At the end of each meet, there are several drink bottles being left behind. Could you please ensure water bottles and hats are labelled, so we know whom they belong to if they are left behind. It is essential athletes have a water bottle, hat and have sunscreen applied beforehand as the weather is quite hot even at 5pm when we start.

There are two carnivals coming up, the Relay Carnival and the Woden/Weston Carnival. The Relay Carnival will be held on Sunday 6th December at the AIS Athletics Field, Bruce. Athletes from Under 7s up are eligible to attend and there is no extra cost. Why not get some friends together and enter a team, or go as an individual and take part in High Jump, Shot Put, Long Jump or Discus? The Woden/Weston Carnival is a new carnival and is open to all ages. It will be held on Saturday 16th January at Woden Park, Ainsworth St, Phillip.

Little Athletics grows
13/11/2009

With now over 100 athletes registered, Little Athletics continues to be a success here in Yass. New registrations are still welcome at our Tuesday night meetings at Victoria Park between 5pm to 7pm.

Tuesday night two coaching specialists came from Canberra to teach parents and athletes about the new "On Track" programme. Athletes are taught skills needed for each event in a fun, non-competitive way. For example, the first part of the evening was spent teaching the athletes to keep their arms bent in an L-shape while running, stay on the balls of their feet and keep their eyes looking ahead. They practiced by running over obstacles, while a parent out in front held up different coloured bean bags. The children had to call out what colour bag was held up.

The nature of "On Track" is such that the children are almost constantly taking part in some activity, so there’s less chance of sitting around and waiting. Parents are a vital part of keeping things moving, so the more parents we can get involved, the more activities we can have running at once.

Parents are reminded that if their child’s name appears on the roster, at least one parent/grandparent/guardian is needed to help that child’s group for the evening. Please don’t underestimate the value of helping out, the athletes get a lot more out of the evening if you are there cheering and supporting them. They are also more likely to continue wanting to take part as the season progresses. Thanks to all those parents who came along to take part in learning about On Track.

The under 8s also took part in the 100m and Shot put last night with the following results:
Alyssa Kemp 100m 20sec, SP 4m, Rhiannon Davis 100m 20.12sec, SP 3.80m, Ashleigh Owen 100m 22.37sec, SP 2.55m, Thomas Girdler 100m 18sec, SP 3.70m, Caitlin Witt 100m 23sec, SP 1.48m, Thomas Stone SP 3.16m, Nakita Ripphausen 100m 22.55sec, SP 3.04m, Jonty Godfrey 100m 20.03sec, SP 3.11m, Tamara Brooker 100m 27sec, SP 2.30m, Leanne Cargill 100m 20.34sec, SP 3.76m, Gabrielle Connor 100m 20sec, SP 2.66m, Tanisha Shannon 100m 22.25sec, SP 2.65m, Neave Kelly 100m 21.77sec, SP 2.37m, Blake Smith 100m 26.15sec.

Athletics leaps into life
6/11/2009

Victoria Park exploded into life again Tuesday night as athletes and their families arrived for another night of Little Athletics. Registrations are still coming in and if you haven’t yet come to register, it’s not too late. Everyone born between October 1992 and March 2005 is able to join us. You don’t need to be a super athlete, you just need to come and have a go. Emphasis is on learning new skills, achieving your own Personal Bests and having fun. We meet every Tuesday night between 5 and 7pm at Victoria Park, come along and check things out.

We are very grateful to everyone who volunteers each week, especially those of you that don’t have children of your own taking part. Parents are reminded that they are needed to help with the athletes if their child’s name appears on the roster, which are available at the registration table. As the groups are larger than last year, it’s important that we have at least four parents per group. It’s amazing how much better the kids perform if a parent is watching!

The seniors did well with the following results in Shot Put, Long Jump and 800m (not all athletes competed in all events):
Tom Coates SP 5.15m, LJ 2.96m, 800m 3.23min, Brendon Scanes SP 7.05m, LJ 3.45m, George Shannon SP 6.86m, LJ 3.08m, Callan Smith SP 6.39m, LJ 3.50m, Tom Callaughan SP 5.24m, LJ 3.08, 800m 2.51min, Hannah Glassford SP 6.21m, LJ 2.32m, 800m 3.47min, Jamie Luff SP 5.93m, Angus Williams SP 5.48m, LJ 3.24m, 800m 3.07min, Ashleigh Witt SP 4.53m, LJ 2.66m, Olivia Muscat SP 5.05m, LJ 3.28m, Eleanor Miller SP 5.60m, LJ 2.90m, 800m 3.44min, Tim Farmer SP 6.25, LJ 3.23, Taylah Smith SP 4.36m, LJ 2.15, 800m 4.22min.

The ACTLAA Relay Carnival is coming up in one month’s time on 6th December, to be held at the Australian Institute of Sports Athletics Track. How about getting yourself and three friends together and enter as a team to represent Yass and run on the track that Olympic gold medallists have used? More information will be added to the website, as it is available. Please let us know if you are interested, either by email (addresses on the website) or in person at a Tuesday meeting.

See our website ylac.org.au if you need any further details. Fact sheets for each event are available there and are recommended reading for athletes and for parents so you can help the kids more with each event.

Out of the blocks: Little Athletics swing into action soon
23/10/2009

Little Athletics season is about to start again on Tuesday, October 27. Once again, all involved will be meeting at Victoria Park from 5pm to 7pm on Tuesday nights.

All children born between October 1992 and March 2005 are able to join. If you haven’t registered yet, don’t worry, come along Tuesday night and register then. Cost is $55 per child, plus $10 if you require a new t-shirt.

Everyone, regardless of ability, is welcome to come to Little Athletics as the emphasis is on self-improvement. For more details, please see our website ylac.org.au

You can also help your child get the most out of Little Athletics by getting involved yourself. Little Athletics encourages and requires parents to be involved. It doesn’t take much to write down the athletes’ times, rake the sandpit, move the high jump bar or walk around supervising a group, but it is vital for Little Athletics to operate.

Registration also entitles athletes from under 8s up to compete in the Multi-Event Carnival in November and Northside Regional Carnival in February and from Under 7s up to compete in the Relay Carnival in December. Check the ACTLAA website for more details and programmes.

With the weather warming up, please remember hats, sunscreen and water bottles. See you Tuesday night!
