CLAC Chronicle 2022/23 – Volume 3

November already, and where has the year gone!! 8 Weeks completed of our busy season!

This season has certainly had a massive start with our high number of registered athletes and throw-in the Melbourne Weather – but we are finally getting back to a normal season.

To put this year into perspective, last year at the end of Cross Country we had 366 members registered and we are already up to 470 registered athletes for the 2022/23 season.

We want to thank everyone for their patience as this has certainly been a learning curve for the committee as we adjust to the large numbers.

With higher numbers certainly comes our need for extra helping hands around the place, so please make sure you are signing up for duty on the weekly sign-up sheets, these are posted in the weekly event via Facebook and TeamApp.
Furthermore, we are always looking for fresh faces on the committee. If you would like to join the committee please contact Katrina via email cranbourne@lavic.com.au

Parent Helpers Requirements

As mentioned above, with our higher numbers we require more parent helpers each and every week. We do not want to get to the stage where we don’t have events or fundraising (canteen etc..) running due to the lack of helpers.

The link for parent helpers is put in the events each week on Social Media and TeamApp.

When you register, one of the waivers you agree to is that you agree to perform parent duties throughout the year. One thing we do at Cranbourne Little Athletics is have a parent points system – which effects your athlete’s end-of-season awards. More information on parent points can be found on the link below. A parent point update will be sent out in the next few weeks.

Coles Community Round

Thank you to all those that dressed up in red or Coles-themed outfits on the weekend! Once again, another great fun day to celebrate the ongoing partnership between Coles and Little Athletics Australia.

State Combined Events Championships

On the 12th and 13th of November, we had 76 athletes sign up to compete at the 2022/23 State Combined Events Championship – the most of any centre in Victoria.

This was also our most successful Combined Events Championships with 5 medalists for the weekend. Delcan Maling and Gregory Roshi both winning gold medals. For those wondering, Declan and Gregory become only the 2nd and 3rd athletes to win GOLD at the Combined Events. The only other winner was Brad Jury, back in the 1994/95 Season.

Whilst the medals are great, what was even better was seeing all the smiles, all the fun, the PBs, the new friends, and the Cranbourne Spirit.

Uniform Requirements

Would you turn up to your weekly footy or netball game and be allowed to play in Tracksuit pants or wear a different colour shirt?
Would you turn up to your soccer or basketball game and be allowed to play in your hoody or wear logos of another team?

Little Athletics is no different – The FULL Centre uniform must be worn when competing at all Centre Programs, Open Days, Region, and State Championships.
Your Commonwealth Bank Name Patch pinned on and the sewn-on Coles Patch all form part of your uniform.

The uniform can be purchased from our uniform shop on a Saturday morning or via our online store
https://cranbourne-little-athletics-centre.square.site/s/shop

There are only 3 reasons not to be in the correct uniform:

1. You are a trial athlete.
2. We have run out of your size – we currently awaiting a delivery of stock, which will arrive in 2-4 weeks,
3. We have a special dress-up-themed week (Pinkletics, Coles Community Day etc..).

If you forget your name tag, you can get a temporary tag from the Clubrooms or if you have misplaced it you can purchase a new one for $5.

If you are not in the correct uniform, your results may not be recorded!
