This year marks a special milestone for the Plympton Flyers Little Athletics Club as they celebrate 40 years of providing athletics opportunities for children in the Marion community. Designed to encourage participation, skill development, and enjoyment, the program focuses on running, jumping, throwing, and walking activities tailored to each child's developmental stage.
Families can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where children aged 3 to 16 can engage in physical activity that promotes fitness and fun. The club offers a Tiny Tots program for ages 3 to 4 and a full Athletics program for ages 5 to 16, catering to all abilities. Two free 'come and try' sessions are available on Sunday mornings to help families get a feel for the club.
The 2024 season begins on 2024-10-13, with sessions held at Hamilton Secondary College in Mitchell Park. The club has grown significantly, now boasting over 250 members, and was recently named the 2023 Coles Little Athletics Australia Centre of the Year. Activities emphasize technique and social development in a safe and fun setting.
All activities take place at Hamilton Secondary College, located in Mitchell Park. The venue is accessible for families in the Marion area, with ample parking and public transport options nearby. Sunday morning sessions make it convenient for families to participate without conflicting with school commitments.
The club welcomes children of all abilities and encourages family involvement to foster a positive community spirit. Parents can register their children online or attend the free trial sessions to learn more. Safety and inclusivity are top priorities, ensuring a nurturing environment for young athletes.
Families can register their children via the club’s website. The two initial 'come and try' sessions are free of charge, providing a risk-free opportunity to experience the program. Further season fees and registration details are available on the website or through the club’s Facebook page.
