2 PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Welcome to Ringwood Little Athletics for Season 2017/18.
I have to say I am excited heading into this season of Little Athletics at Ringwood. This will be
our first full season back at Ringwood following our track redevelopment. The redevelopment
has provided us with an elite class track and exceptional new facilities. We are currently in
discussion with the council and the other user groups of Ringwood to improve our throws
cages - once this is done, Ringwood would rightly be considered one of the best facilities in
Victoria, if not Australia.
We are also proud to announce that Ringwood will this year provide a multi-class athlete
offering. Last year, we offered a trial for multi-class athletes - the trial was extremely
successful, so we are looking to broaden our offering this year and make it a formal part of
the RLAC Program. Seeing the faces of some of the multi-class athletes was enough to
guarantee we would run a permanent program from this year. We are reaching out to various
organisations within the community to share our program, and we would love all our families
to help spread the word about our multi-class program.
We are also re-launching our training and coaching program this year at RLAC. To initially be
offered each Wednesday and Sunday, this program will offer athletes the opportunity to
further develop and refine their technique and skill at each athletics discipline. We are
fortunate enough to have a number of ex-Little Athletics, who are now senior Ringwood
athletes, available to provide the coaching and training alongside some of our parent coaches.
This additional training helps fill a gap we have had in our offering for our younger athletes
for a few years now. We are still working through the detail of our offering, so please be on
the lookout for information regarding the training and coaching program as we develop the
program as the season progresses.
As we head into the new season, I am reminded of the Little Ath’s slogan of ‘Family, Fun and
Fitness’. At Ringwood, we pride ourselves on providing a welcoming social atmosphere in
which athletes can have fun, develop fitness and do their very best. We also like to think we
provide an atmosphere where parents and volunteers can have fun and most importantly,
get involved with their children’s sport. There are not many sports where parents can get up
close and personal with their children while they compete, so we encourage everyone to pitch
in and help out each week to ensure our athletes get the most out of their time at Little
Athletics.
See you at the track,
Bryce Sandow
President
Ringwood Little Athletics Centre

8 CENTRE INFORMATION
8.1 PARENT PARTICIPATION AND ROSTERS
RLAC requires about 70 volunteers each Competition day to ensure all events are available to
athletes and that each event is offered a number of times during the season. Without the
required number of officials, events may be cancelled or will be delayed, and athletes will
miss out.
Parents are required to sign-up to assist with an age group or may be asked by their team to
complete a special duty. Teams will be responsible for allocating volunteers for canteen and
BBQ duty each week.
On some special event days (i.e. Centre Games) all families are required to volunteer and a
duty will be allocated to each family registered for the special event.
Parents must sign-in at the Officials table (located in front of the large grandstand) before
going to an event. When parents sign-on they will be given a fluorescent vest to wear while
on duty. Only Officials wearing these vests are permitted on the inside of fence and on field
at RLAC to ensure everyone’s safety.
As volunteering is important to ensuring our competition each week, points are allocated to
each Team based on the number of parents volunteering each week. The points tally towards
the winner of the Harris Award, which is presented at the end of the season.
8.2 CENTRE REGISTRATION FEE REFUND POLICY
It is Centre policy to not offer refunds for registration fees. Any extenuating circumstances
requiring refunds may be considered by the Executive Committee upon receipt of written
request for refund.
8.3 WARM UPS
It is essential for all athletes to be at the track and participate in the organised warm-up
session at 8:30am on Saturdays, and 5:45pm for twilight competition. Competition starts at
Page | 11
the completion of warm-ups for U6-U10 age groups. Athletes are advised to do warm-up
exercises throughout the morning to help prevent muscle injuries.
Note: U11 and up athletes may participate in events prior to the warm-up time. If this is the
case, it is the athlete’s responsibility to warm-up appropriately for their event.
8.4 ADVERSE WEATHER PLAN
In the event of an adverse weather event, a decision on the running of, or continuation of,
and competition event will be made by the Track & Field Co-ordinator and the Executive
Committee. Communications will be sent to all members by 8:00am Saturday or 5.30pm
Friday if an early decision is made to cancel a competition due to extreme weather conditions.
If you have not received any communications regarding cancellation, competition will be held.
If the weather becomes wet or extremely hot during competition time, a decision will be
made by the Track & Field Co-ordinator and the Executive Committee to modify or finish the
program.
During extremely hot conditions, the Committee will make regular announcements about
staying hydrated and being “Sun Smart”. We encourage all parents to ensure that their
children are following these guidelines.
We encourage parents to make their own decisions regarding whether their children should
compete on such days.
8.5 TWILIGHT COMPETITION
Each season, we conduct several Twilight Meetings held on Friday evenings, in place of
Saturday morning competition. Warm-ups commence at 5:45pm, with competition
commencing at 6:00pm.
Note: older age groups may commence earlier at 5:30pm for Javelin or Open Throws
8.6 INSURANCE
All registered Little Athletes are insured. They are covered during all Centre activities including
associated travelling. Where sanctioned, volunteers are insured whilst they are engaged in
Centre activities or associated duties.
Note: When attending the Centre or other LA Vic approved activities at Proclamation Park;
insurance does NOT cover non-athletics activities.
An excess does apply on any one claim. Claim forms are available from the Centre Secretary
and the LA Vic office.
To minimise the risk of injury, athletes are advised to follow Competition Regulations and to
warm up before events. Age Group Managers and Coaches can help athletes with
recommended stretching exercises. It is very important that all athletes arrive at the track at
Page | 12
least 15 minutes before the beginning of Competition to participate in the organised Warm-
up Session.
8.7 CANTEEN AND BBQ
The smooth running of the Canteen and BBQ each week is essential to the ongoing future of
RLAC, as this is our main source of fundraising throughout the season. Please support both
the Canteen and the BBQ by purchasing items.
8.8 FIRST AID
A qualified First Aid Officer will be in attendance at Centre competitions. If for some reason
this person is unable to attend, an announcement will be made requesting names of any
persons at the venue with a current First Aid Certificate.
In the absence of anyone coming forward, the parent is then responsible.
9 COMMUNICATION
Should you require information, or want to raise an issue, please see your Team Manager in
the first instance. Team Managers will often be able to assist you immediately and they
represent you on the Centre Committee.
To keep you informed as to what is happening around the Centre and how you can help your
athletes achieve the most from Little Athletics, RLAC communicates via a number of channels:
Noticeboard at the track
Weekly Newsletter (during the Track & Field season)
TeamApp
Facebook (Public page and closed group)
10 CENTRE COMMITTEE MEETINGS
It is important that all members of the Centre Committee attend these meetings, and that
each Team has at least one representative in attendance. These meetings are where all the
decisions and planning take place for the future direction of RLAC.
These meetings are the ideal forum to raise ideas and make suggestions regarding the general
running of the Centre. Meetings are open to all parents of athletes and interested persons.

18 AUSTRALIAN LITTLE ATHLETIC CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Australian Little Athletics Championships (ALAC) is a National Competition conducted at
the end of the Track and Field season each year. It is team based, with each competitor
awarded points for their performance which contribute to their State’s total score. There are
also individual medals for the U13 athlete’s events.
A team of 22 athletes from U13 is selected to represent Victoria. The selection is made from
the athlete’s performances at both Region and State Track and Field Championships. An
athlete must compete at the State Championships to be eligible for selection in the Victorian
team.
At the same time there is a Multi-event competition for U15 athletes with 2 boys and 2 girls
chosen to represent each state. An athlete must compete in State Multi-Championships and
place in the top 4 in their age group to be eligible for selection. As with all multi-event
competitions there are no medals for individual events just the overall top 3 placegetters.
Over the years Ringwood has been well represented in these teams both by athletes and
Team management positions. Many of Ringwood’s coaches have also assisted with the
training of these teams.

Season 2016/17 saw the induction of Debbie Voogd as a Life Member of Ringwood Little
Athletics Centre.
Debbie has been at Ringwood Little Athletics since 2006, and has watched her and husband
Noel’s three sons, Matthew, Josh and Ben, progress through the age groups here at
Ringwood.
From the very beginning, Debbie was diligent in honouring her rostered duty, but it wasn’t
long before she became a regular Official at the Centre. In 2008 Debbie became an Age Group
Manager – a position she held at various age groups up until 2016.
Debbie has participated in training on behalf of the Centre in 2013 to become our Chief of
Officials, a role she has held since then, and she has attended numerous LA Vic events on
behalf of RLAC. She is also one of our Member Protection Information Officers, a role created
as part of recent Child Safe legislation.
Debbie has been a member of the RLAC committee for many years and has played an active
part on the Centre’s ‘Special Events’ Sub-Committee for the past 5 years and has been an
RLAC delegate to Eastern Metropolitan Region meetings for the past 3 years.
Debbie has also contributed to Little Athletics outside the Ringwood Centre, being selected in
2015 to officiate at the Australian Little Athletics Championships held in Melbourne.
Page | 32
It is not often that we have parents dedicate over 10 years of service to our Centre, and less
often do those parents give as much as Debbie has done. Congratulations to Debbie on her
inclusion as a Life Member of Ringwood Little Athletics Centre.
