Please see FINAL SCHEDULE below.

GOODLUCK TO ALL OF OUR CLAC ATHLETES!!

BE YOUR BEST!

Please note the following:

Our Championship is run in conjunction with Athletics Tasmania. Their event runs from 1pm – 5pm Saturday January 15th and 9am – 2pm Sunday January 16th. LATas events run 5pm – 7:30pm Saturday January 15th and 10pm – 3pm Sunday January 16th. Gates will open 30 mins prior to the Athletics Tasmania events and our first events will be marshalled 15 minutes prior to our start times of 5pm and 10am.

Field Crews will be entirely done via volunteers due to the current circumstances, we believe it will be easier this way as we anticipate athlete withdrawals. However as it is a Championship event, we will have to try to keep all spikers and recorders “neutral” where possible.Most Chief Officials have been allocated one event. If allocated a longer event (in duration), I’ve tried to limit that official to one event.

All Centres – please read the Equipment and Set Up attachment to check whether your Centre is responsible for setting up any sites. Please ensure that you send a couple of people to prepare the site (including shade shelters) and have it ready by 9:30am (only if the site isn’t in use by AT). This is your Centres responsibilityOther Centres – please assist South Launceston where you can by assisting with set up at the various sites, especially hurdles. Every little bit of help will be appreciated.

We expect to finish around 3:00pm.

It will need to be “all hands on deck” in regards to officials and crews. Please encourage all families to put their hand up and help out in some way, remembering that this is a Championship Event and we should have “neutral” personnel on site. Many people may need to help out at multiple events during the day for us to get through our program and not interfere with AT program.

As Covid is here please social distance where possible, sanitiser will be readily available around the track and at each site, mask up and please stay at home if you are feeling unwell.

THANK YOU to our CLAC Officials.

1. All State/Centre administrators, officials, volunteers and spectators are to wear face masks at all times with the following exceptions: 
   • Masks may be removed by Officials where necessary to enable them to carry out their duties (eg Announcers, Starters, Chief Officials if they need to call out distances etc).
   • Masks may be removed by anyone eating or drinking.
   • If you have a medical exemption.
2. Athletes are encouraged to wear masks wherever possible when not competing.

In each of the cases above, please ensure that you maintain physical distancing.

3. All those attending Little Athletics Tasmania Centre and State meets are required to check in at the venue using the Check In Tas app and venue QR code or using the sign in sheet provided.
4. A dedicated COVID Compliance Officer will be appointed for each meet, whose responsibility is to ensure compliance measures are being met. COVID Compliance Officers are required to wear a unique hi-visibility vest so they are easily identified.

A full copy of the Little Athletics Tasmania Worksafe COVID-19 Safety Plan for State & Centre Meets is attached.  If you have any questions please contact Little Athletics Tasmania at office@taslittleathletics.com.au  

LATas State Relay Championships will be held at the Domain on Sat 5th February 2022. This is a full day of Competition with the first event approx 9am.

LOADS OF IMPORTANT INFORMATION BELOW – PLEASE READ TO AVOID CONFUSION.

Only athletes who complete this google nomination form by Wednesday 19th of January 5pm will be considered for relay teams. Teams will be formed and notified as soon as possible.

Relay heats and finals for U8-U15 registered athletes will be held where required. Please note – as per National restrictions we are not able to offer Championship events of any form to Under 6 and Under 7 athletes, however an “invitational” relay will be offered to Under 6 and Under 7 athletes with participation, ribbons to be awarded. There will be no charge for these events and its a great way to introduce our State Relay competition to our youngest stars. U6 and U7s will also be offered a Long Jump Event.

Full CLAC uniform with badges correctly displayed is required. NB: 25 Events is not required for Relays.

The Relay Championship events include the following:

U8 – U15 4 x 100m relay

U9 – U15 4 x 200m relay

U9 – U15 Swedish relay (1x100m, 1x200m, 1x300m & 1x400m)

U8 – U15 Field Event relay

Cost: $8 per person per Relay at a maximum of $16 (CLAC will cover the remaining costs).

Team Managers are required once teams are finalised, please volunteer, this helps with the communication of details to teams leading up to and on the day of the Relays.

Older athletes please note: LATas Relay Championships for this season are being held in conjunction with the Athletics Tasmania State Relay Championships. Athletes that are dual registered with both Little Athletics Tasmania and Athletics Tasmania are able to enter events with either or both organisations but it is recommended (in the interest of athlete workload) that athletes limit themselves to no more than 4 events in total (keeping in mind that some events may require heats and finals).

This is a nomination form only from which the Centre will enter teams based on the rules outlined in the LATas Bylaws (page 15).

Payment of the athlete’s total entry fee to CLAC can be made at a meet on or before Saturday 29th January.

If we have more odd numbers in the age group, athletes may be considered for reserves or can still attend as non-centre aligned ‘additional’ athletes. Many of these combined teams have been successful in the past so please do not be disappointed!

Parents of attending athletes will be required to fulfill official duties where required and volunteer for crews on the day for the field relays.

All enquiries to clarence@taslittleathletics.com.au or speak with one of the CLAC Committee at our next meet.

Please only complete this form if you are SURE your athlete will be competing.

Training on Tuesday 18th January will focus on Relays for U6 – U15s.

GO CLAC!
