THIS INFORMATION WILL BE UPDATED AS SOON AS THE COMMITTEE HAS RECEIVED AND REVIEWED THE INFORMATION FROM THE NSW ATHLETICS PARTNERSHIP REGARDING CHAMPIONSHIPS & EVENT FOR THE 2024/25 SEASON.

 

Balmain Athletics is part of Region 8 which is made up of two Zones - Inner City and Southern Metropolitan. Athletes qualify for Region Championship based on performances at the Inner City Zone Championships. U7 athletes that competed at Zone do not progress to the Regional competition. U8 athletes compete at the Region Championships only, ie they do not progress to State Championships. 

 

The Region 8 Championships is scheduled to take place on 1 and 2 February 2025, at Sylvania Waters Athletics Track. A list of Balmain qualifiers for the Regional Championships, the Final Program and Regional Newsletter will be shared here when available. 

 

A parent or carer from each family must assist during the weekend by completing at least one duty of a little over an hour. There are spots to be filled and these can be selected at a time that suits. Please follow the link to nominate a duty.

 

Progression: The first two placegetters (9-17) in each event at the Region Championships will automatically progress to the State Championships at Sydney Olympic Park Athletic Centre. Little Athletics NSW then selects the next best eight clear final performances from across all of the Regions, subject to qualifying standards for some events, to make up to a maximum of 24 athletes in each event.
