Thank you all for registering your child for this weekend’s State Combined Event Championships. This event is a great way to meet lifelong friends from other centers, as well as make friends with some other Cranbourne athletes from other age groups.
Duty Roster
When signing up, one of the conditions is that you agree to perform Parent Duty. Every athlete will be required to perform a parent duty.
All duties MUST be conducted by someone who is 21 years or older. Please check the roster below

We have tried to make the duties as fair as possible. This year, once again, we have the BIGGEST team competing at the State Combined Events, by over 20 athletes, which means we have the most duties. Duties are done by athlete and day, unfortunately with the amount of duties we have, some athletes competing on both days will have double duty.
Failure to attend to your duty will result in your child being scratched for all subsequent events on that day. Moreover, you risk jeopardizing your standing for future Region/State events, upcoming Cranbourne functions, and Cranbourne season awards.
Uniform
All athletes must be wearing the complete Cranbourne uniform. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in your child being ineligible to participate—this adheres to both LAVIC rules and the conditions of entry.
Our Uniform Consists of:
- Royal Blue Shorts with NO Pockets, Patterns, or Non-approved logos (e.g., Nike, Adidas, etc…)
- Cranbourne Competition Top
- Coles patch SEWN on, above the LAVic logo on the athlete’s shirt.
- 2023/24 Commonwealth Bank name patch.
Please see the file below on all uniform regulations including the wearing of undergarments (shirts and shorts under your uniform)
What to do once you arrive at Lakeside?
Parking
For the most convenient parking, we recommend Albert Road or Albert Road Drive. Ample parking is available in the vicinity, with early arrival ensuring better parking options. Please allow for additional time for parking.
Please note: there will be several other events on over the weekend so parking space may be limited. Please arrive early!!
Where to go?
Upon reaching Lakeside Stadium, locate us in our usual spot on the back straight near the 1500m start. Access through gate 1 is recommended for ease of entry. Cranbourne is renowned for its spirited support, so let’s maintain the tradition of making noise and cheering for each athlete.

Athlete Check In
Every athlete is required to sign in with our Team Managers upon arrival and sign out before leaving, even during breaks between events. This adherence to a new child-safe guideline not only ensures safety but also aids our team managers in tracking athlete presence. Athletes who haven’t checked in at the designated Cranbourne area before their first event the athlete will be scratched.
Food Options
We strongly advise families to bring their lunch, beverages, and snacks, as the food choices at Lakeside Stadium are quite limited.
What to do before and after your event?
Warming Up
For the State Combined event, athletes will need to warm themselves up for each event. If any athlete would like advice on how to warm up properly, please see one of the coaches on Wednesday at Training.
Going to the call room
A Track call room, located near the 100m start line, will be used for all Track events. When called to marshal for any track event, all athletes are to report to the Track call room, and they will be escorted from there to the start of their race.
Field events will not use a call room but will marshal at one of three Field Marshalling points:
- All Long Jump events will marshal on the outside of the track along the back straight.
- Shot Put and Javelin events will marshal just inside Gate 1 near the Canteen.
- Discus and High Jump events will marshal outside the track near the 1500m start
point.
All athletes must be at their relevant call room/marshaling point 30 minutes before their first
event of each day. For subsequent events throughout the day, an announcement will be
made when each Age Group and Group is to report to the call room/marshaling points.
The timetable is only an indication of the times for each event. It is essential that athletes
and parents are listening for all announcements relating to their events.
Athletes are not to run across the track or jump the fence. Located around the track are
gates, and officials at each Gate will manage the athletes entering the track area.
In between events
During breaks, we suggest that you hang around the Cranbourne area or support other Cranbourne Athletes. Please note: if you miss an event from not sitting in the Cranbourne area – that is on you!

Like all LAVic State Events, this event will have a limited free stream available. All track events and limited field events will be live-streamed.
