You must register online for the 2010-11 season!!

Register and pay by credit card online. Its simple and, after downloading a receipt for fees (a flat $130 per child), just pick up a registration pack containing athletes numbers at Trumper Park on any Friday before 6pm. All parents must download and fill in the ESLAC Parent Details form plus the legally-required Working With Children declaration. New athletes must show proof of age e.g. passport or birth certificate. (Its a national rule, so please don't challenge our hard-working volunteers.)

To Register online, go to the Little Athletics Association of NSW website. Click "Register here" and follow the prompts. If you registered online last year, click "Existing Members-Registration " and be sure to have with you your username and password, which LAANSW have been emailed to you. Otherwise, click "New registration".

NOTE: you are registering your children NOT yourselves so please be careful to enter the correct data

NO OVER THE COUNTER REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

If you choose to pay at the Clubhouse rather than online, the cost will be $150 per athlete, cash or cheque only. If you turn up on a Friday without registering, your child can run as a triallist for ONE WEEK ONLY and you can register online during the week. New athletes don't forget your passport or birth certificate.

HINT: Register early

Note that we only accept 30 athletes into each age group (e.g. 30 B9s and 30 G9s). Registration numbers are allocated in the order in which the applications are received.

One free trial week

Not sure if your child will enjoy it? Children may have one free trial, after filling in a registration form (for insurance reasons) after which they must complete registration. Unregistered children will otherwise be asked to leave the field. Once registered, there is a policy of no refunds and there is no discount for late registrations.

Free Coaching

Coaching is available for registered athletes on Tuesdays and Thursdays (starting 4pm) at ES Marks Field, Anzac Parade, Kensington, with Head Coach Mal Baker and his team.(There is a $3 entry fee charged by the ground, not our club.)

In case of rain, a cancellation by Woollahra Council before 4pm will be placed here. Later cancellations by Committee members are made as close to 6pm as possible, call 0410 635403
