Whether your child is stepping onto the track for the first time or striving to achieve their personal best, UWA provides opportunities for athletes of all abilities to participate and grow.
One Club. More Opportunities.
As of 16 August 2026, UWA Little Athletics Club and UWA Athletics Club officially adopted the One Club model.
This exciting transition creates a seamless pathway from Little Athletics through to senior athletics, allowing athletes to continue their journey within one club while benefiting from shared coaching, facilities and development opportunities.

Our Programs
Tiny Tots (3–4 Years)
Our Tiny Tots program is the perfect introduction to athletics for children aged 3–4 years. Through fun, play-based activities, children develop fundamental movement skills including running, jumping, throwing, balance, coordination and agility in a safe and supportive environment.
The focus is on participation, confidence and enjoyment, allowing children to explore movement, build friendships and develop a lifelong love of being active. Tiny Tots is a non-competitive program, with sessions delivered by our qualified coaching team on Saturday mornings.
Little Athletics (U7–U18)
Our Little Athletics program provides children of all abilities with the opportunity to participate in athletics through weekly training sessions and Saturday competitions.
Athletes are introduced to a wide variety of track and field events including sprints, hurdles, middle distance, jumps and throws while developing technique, confidence and physical literacy in an encouraging environment.
As athletes progress through the age groups, training becomes increasingly structured, with opportunities to develop event-specific skills, set personal goals and compete at State and National Championships. Whether your child is participating for fun, fitness or performance, our focus remains on creating positive experiences and celebrating personal improvement.
Winter Cross Country
Our Winter Cross Country program keeps athletes active throughout the cooler months while building endurance, resilience and confidence in a supportive team environment.
Weekly training sessions focus on developing aerobic fitness, running technique and race strategies through engaging, age-appropriate activities. Athletes also have the opportunity to compete in Athletics West Cross Country events alongside teammates, making winter a fantastic opportunity to stay connected with the club and continue developing throughout the year.
Whether your child is new to running or preparing for the upcoming summer season, Cross Country provides a fun and rewarding way to stay active and challenge themselves.
