What a start to the year we are having!
Our registration numbers have already exceeded those of 2021/22 and we are on target for Cranbourne’s biggest year yet.
The committee would to thank all our members for their patience through this time as we were all readjusting to the new season.
As of this coming Saturday, we will be reverting to a 5 event program for the athletes. Some weeks we still only be 4 events for when we are hosting a special event or if there is another booking at Casey Field. Our programming team, along with the rest of the committee will be monitoring this on a week-by-week basis to try and find the most effective ways to run each and every competition.
With our numbers growing we are always looking for more volunteers and committee members. If you would like to join the committee please have a chat with Holger, Dean, or Katrina for more information.
THANK YOU
Special thank you to all our members and families who supported our annual Pinkletics fundraiser.
As a centre we managed to raise $1554 with all proceeds going towards Young Pink Sisters Charity
This money will go towards helping with the cost of treatment for local breast cancer fighters.
Uniform Requirements
Would you turn up to your weekly footy or netball game and be allowed to play in Tracksuit pants?
Would you turn up to your soccer or basketball game and be allowed to play in your hoody?
Little Athletics is no different – The Centre uniform must be worn when competing at all Centre Programs, Open Days, Region, and State Championships.
Your Commonwealth Bank Name Patch 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..).
We know that our little athletes love to wear their state shirts and training shirts however, these are not part of our centre uniform.
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.
From this week Saturday, if you are not in the correct uniform, your results will not be recorded!

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
CLICK HERE TO VIEW 2022/23 STATE COMBINED PARENT DUTY ROSTER
We have tried to make the duties as fair as possible. It is basically one duty for each ATHLETE. This year we have the BIGGEST team competing at the State Combined Events, by over 25 athletes, which does mean we have the most duties.
If you do not show up for your duty, your child will be scratched from all future events for the weekend. You will also put your spot in danger for all future Region/State events, future Cranbourne events, and Cranbourne season awards.
Uniform
Please ensure all Athletes have the full Cranbourne uniform – if you do not have the full uniform your child will not be allowed to compete.
This includes
– Royal Blue Shorts with NO Pockets, No Patterns or Non-approved logos.
– Under Garments (leggings etc) must be either royal blue or plain black, with NO logos or no Patterns.
– Coles patch SEWN on, above the LAVic logo on the athlete’s shirt.

WE’RE BACKKK!!!!!
After two years of postponed season starts, we are back to our regular October start – THIS SATURDAY 1st OCTOBER from 8 am!
Our registration numbers and number of trial athletes this year are looking fantastic and we cannot wait to welcome back our re-newing athletes and welcome all new athletes into our Cranbourne Family.
Please remember that if you are a returning athlete, you must have renewed your registration to take part in the 2022/23 Season.
For those that are new to CLAC, our Chronicle is an online newsletter that we will send out every 3-4 weeks with all the updates you need for the next few weeks. Being the first one for the new season, this one is a lot bigger than usual.
2022/23 Registration Patches
Please remember that you will need a new patch for the 2022/23 Season. Last year’s patches will no longer work.
To help get these out quicker, they will be available for pick up at the track this Tuesday and Thursday from 5.30 pm-6.30 pm
Parent Duty Sign Up
SIGN UP NOW FOR DUTY THIS WEEK: https://bit.ly/CLACSIGNUP
Typically, to conduct a Track and Field competition on a weekly basis, CLAC requires between 60-70 parents in a volunteer role.
Throughout the year we do require each family to participate in some type of parent duties, but don’t stress it’s nothing painful or stressful. It gives you the opportunity to be out on the track/in the field assisting the athletes and there is nothing better than the smile on an athlete’s face.
Everyone at Cranbourne Little Athletics is a volunteer to help make our centre run – from the president to the equipment manager, from the head coach to the starter, from the secretary to the announcer.
New and Trial Athletes
We again have a large number of new and trial athletes for this weekend!
When you arrive on Saturday don’t be afraid to ask anyone for help! Our committee members, and even some other parents, will be more than happy to assist you with any questions you have!
Season 22/23 Calendar of Events and Programming.
[table “7” not found /]This year our Programming Team has worked with an Exercise Physiologist on getting the right events together for each program so athletes aren’t getting “burnt out”.
We are starting off the year with two make-up programs, with 4 events for every age group. The weekly program has been posted on our Facebook Page Event and in TeamApp
Please note: The calendar and weekly programs are subject to change, we will send emails to all members of any calendar/program changes.
Season Handbook
This year we are bringing back our hard copy season handbook. Unfortunately due to some logistics issues, they won’t be available till about weeks 3-4 and will be distributed 1 per family.
Uniform
Did you know that you can pre-purchase your uniform online?
Click here for the Cranbourne Little Athletics Online Store
Unfortunately, our stock levels are a bit low at the moment, due to a shipping delay, we believe they should be in by week 2, Saturday 8th October. Due to this our uniform shop will not be open this week at training, but it will be open on Saturday.
With the delayed stock, we do not expect athletes to be in full uniform for the first couple of weeks, however, once our stock has arrived we still start issuing warnings to athletes out of full uniform.
Please still try and wear royal blue shorts or a white/royal blue tee if you are awaiting for stock/sizes to arrive.
Training This Year
Starting this week training is back.
For the 2022/23 season, our volunteer coaches will be taking training over three nights. Training is completely optional but it certainly does help your children improve at little athletics.
The desire of each athlete to do the best consists of their willingness to learn whilst having fun and improving fundamental skills in all facets of track and field, whether that be walking, running, jumping, or throwing.
Training Nights – 5.30 pm Start
Tuesday: All Ages Fitness Training
Wednesday: U6-U9 Event Specific Training
Thursday: U10+ Event Specific Training
Multi-Class Athletes are welcome to come down on any of the three nights.
A parent or guardian MUST be present during the entire training session if your child attends.
This is non-negotiable unless extenuating circumstances exist, in which case coaches must be notified. Parents may be required to assist coaches during training sessions. Involving yourself by assisting is encouraged and depending on athlete numbers may be essential to ensure training is run.
Special Event Training (State Events and Relays) will be announced throughout the season
2022/23 LAVic State Combined Events Championships (U9+)
Entries for the first state event for the 2022/23 season are open with the LAVIC State Combined Events Championships taking place in early November.

GCR U13-U16 Multi Class (feat Tegan James & Lucas Crowley)
3rd Place: U14 Girls (Shayla Warwick, Jess Monduc & Shea Culpin)

Bron has taken on the role as Head Registrar this year. She has been an assistant to Ross over the past few years, so she has learnt from the best and now possesses all the knowledge when it comes to registrations. Bron is also our current Cross-Country Team Manager, so if you have competed in Cross Country you would’ve already met Bron. Bron and her team cannot wait to help you once our summer season starts.
Secretary – Katrina B
Katrina has been around the centre for numerous years now and always had her hand up to get involved. Katrina comes to us with great knowledge of administration and is looking forward to assisting everyone.

Last year Dave jumped on as an assistant coach, teaching children events he excelled at as an athlete, and this year has decided to take on the role as Sponsorship and Grant Manager.

Cross Country State Relays Championships
Cross country Relays will take place June 4th for athletes in the u9-16 age groups. This is a state event held at Cruden Farm in Langwarrin. In the next few weeks, we will open up registrations for Cross Country Relays!
The State Cross-Country Relay Championships is a Teams event, where 3 athletes complete a Relay over a Cross-Country course. The distances are less than the individual Cross-Country distances to allow greater flexibility and formation of Teams. Athletes do not carry a baton, they start and finish within a transition zone.
Events
U9 & U10: 3 x 1km
U11 & U12: 3 x 1.5km
U13, U14, U15 & U16: 3 x 2km (2 laps of 1km)
Stawell Gift
Every year Little Athletics Victoria holds events at the Stawell Gift. This year Little Athletes could enter 100m, 400m, 800m and 1600m.
We had one athlete go up and enter all 4 events.
Congratulations to Declan Maling, who was one of the only athletes to run in all the events, and also make the final in each event!
