The challenge will be fun filled and action packed with variety agility challenges all centered on the Little Athletics program.

The Little Athletics program is designed to address the specific physical requirements of children in the 5 - 10 year old age bracket. It focuses on introducing the fundamentals of athletic movement to children in a fun, exciting and non-competitive environment.

This age group has been identified as an important stage in the development of fundamental skills such as agility, co-ordination and balance. Little Athletics centres on the use of games to provide fun while developing these all important skills which can contribute greatly to future sporting achievements.

Little Athletics Challenges will take place from 11.00-14.30
