COMPETITION INFORMATION

Eligibility
To be eligible to enter these Championships, the athlete must be a registered and financial athlete with Capital Athletics, another State/Territory athletics body affiliated with Australian Little Athletics or Athletics Australia or, if a visiting overseas athlete, with their own national athletics body.

Events will be offered in the Under 14, Under 15, Under 16, Under 17 & Under 18 age groups only.  Athletes must enter the events applicable to their age group (ie "age-up" entries are not permitted).  

Please note that this is different to the standard Little Athletics age groups.  All athletes, please refer to the table below to determine your correct age group.  Athletes will still be competing with the same athletes as in normal competitions, just the name of the age group will have changed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*  Under 12 and Under 13 LAACT athletes, who are Dual Registered, can compete in the Under 14 age group. If athletes are only registered with Little Athletics, their Championships will be conducted at the Capital Athletics U9 to U13 Championships held on 18^th to 19^th March 2023.

Entry
The entry fee for these Championships is $30.00 for the meet.  Athletes will see a fee of $30.00 for each event that they enter but the system will then limit the payment to a maximum of $30.00.  For athletes who have taken out an Athletics ACT All Meets package, entry is free.

Please note that entries submitted via the On-Line system must be paid by credit/debit card.   If you do not have a credit/debit card, fill out the online entry and submit, then contact the Athletics In The ACT Office to pay the entry fee before the entry closing date and time.  If the entry fee is not paid by the close of entries, the entry will be deleted.

There are no on-day entry for these Championships.

If you are a registered athlete with Athletics in the ACT, including Registered Little Athletes, ACT Dual Registered Athletes, and athletes only registered with Athletics ACT, you should login to the system first. The Login button is at the upper right of this screen.

If you enter by using your National ID, Surname and DOB, you will be matched to the correct registration type but your other details, including the Club/Centre you are registered with, will not be displayed - they are still matched to your entry.

Athletes will only see, and be able to enter, events being offered for their age and gender.  As an example, a non dual registered LAACT athlete will not see or be able to enter events such as Pole Vault or Hammer.

Start lists
All Athletes must check the start lists and final timetable which will be posted on the Athletics In the ACT website after the close of entries.  It is each athlete’s responsibility to check the start time of their event closer to the competition date.

Competition Uniform

If athletes are registered only with a Little Athletics Centre/Club, they must compete in their Little Athletics Centre uniform.

If athletes are registered only with an AACT “senior” Club, they must compete in that Club’s uniform.

If athletes are Dual Registered and competing in an event offered for both Little Athletics and Senior Athletics, the athlete may compete in either their LAACT Centre or AACT Club uniform.

If athletes are Dual Registered and competing in an event offered only to AACT registered athletes, the athlete must compete in their AACT Club uniform.

Check-In
All athletes are required to check-in for EACH event at least 45 mins before the scheduled start time of the event unless otherwise indicated on the Program of Events (note: this is not the start time of your heat, but the start time of the event group).  Please refer to the final timetable as times vary depending on some events.  An athlete may check in for all their events on that day when they check-in for their first event that day

Competition Rules
Athletes are encouraged to read and understand the competition rules and conditions upon entering the current Under 14 – Under 18 ACT Championships Rules of Competition.  You will find a link to these at the bottom of the page.
