The following Sunday we are hosting the Eastern 7 cross country at Ruffey Lake Park. We are required to fill ALL duty roles for this day. If your child runs cross country, please expect that you will be doing duty on this day. This may mean being at cross country for longer than just your childs race. We will have a sign up sheet for duty available this Sunday, please come and see Kath or Kim and sign up for a duty. Any duties not filled by the end of this Sunday we will be nominating parents for. We need to fill approx 25 roles on the day and all hands on deck for pack up. Duty roles include, course set up, start and finish marshalling, course marshalls, time keepers, announcer, starter etc. We also need to fill “Hare and Tortoise” roles, we already have a few senior athletes and older age little athletes, but any fit, fast parents come see us if you want to help out here.

We will also have a few duty roles at Regionals and Eastern 7 Rewards, but this event relies totally on Doncaster Parent volunteers to run. Your athletes have already enjoyed a number of cross country races where we didn’t need to do duty, so now it’s our turn to repay that.

Parent Support Program

It is a condition of registration that parents perform their rostered duty.

Please read the Parent’s Charter before registering your child (part of registering online is by accepting and agreeing to the charter).

DLAC has no paid staff – everything depends upon the efforts of volunteers to prepare and run the events and pack-up afterwards. A competition day at Little Athletics isn’t only about the kids. All the events our children take part in are run by parents whose children are also participating. The kids enjoy it and their parents get to have fun, too.

The Duty roster gives parents a chance to have fun being involved with the athletes, cheering them on and guiding them. Kids get a kick from having their parents officially measuring their throw, run or jump and most people find it’s more fun to occasionally have a hand in their children’s events than just watching.

So there is a Duty Roster. It’s not optional!

If you have difficulty being available for duty please don’t hesitate to speak to your Club’s Parent-Organiser or President. As we’re all volunteers we understand that everyone has constraints to work around.

Each Club rosters parents to help run the On-Track and Competition events that they are responsible for. The details of the roster depend upon each Club and the event. The tasks don’t require any prior Athletics experience – this handbook describes each event & how you can help (it also gives hints about becoming a qualified official, but that’s entirely up to you).

If someone else will be bringing your child on a day you’re rostered for duty (and you haven’t made other arrangements with your club’s organiser) that’s ok – we’re happy for that person to fill-in in your stead.

Note: for insurance reasons, the person performing the duty must be either a parent/guardian on the athlete’s registration, or must provide their name on-the-day for our Centre records.

What are the registration fees?

The registration fee for U6 – U7 athletes after 1st January 2019 is $120

The registration fee for U8 – U16 athletes after 1st January 2019 is $150

Athletes are also required to wear a club uniform. (approx $40 – $70). The registration fee does not include uniform costs.

The registration fee includes the Doncaster coaching program and Special Event days at Doncaster (Open-Day, Multi-event, Handicap Day, Centre-Championships & Doncaster Cross-Country) as well as Region Relay competition.

Region and State Track&Field, State Multi-Event and State Cross-Country now require separate online registration and payment, they are not included in the Doncaster registration fee. These are optional events and require separate registration and payment as they occur.

External programs such as Junior Development Squad (JDS) and the Crystal Creek Camp are also not included.

If you are having difficulty paying these fees, please don’t hesitate to speak to your Club President regarding payment options.

It’s here! The 2018/2019 DLAC Competition Calendar. Download Calendar in PDF form here 

Our photo galleries allow us to recognise the effort, determination & fun our Athletes put into their events.

Doncaster Centre & Clubs have a number of photographers who will be out on the track taking photos of our athletes. Our volunteers have Working with Children checks and will be wearing a yellow vest and identification. All photos are taken and used in accordance with the DLAC Photography Policy

Anyone who wishes to take photos at the Doncaster Centre will need to read and abide by this policy.

DLAC does not want to stop parents/carers from taking legitimate images of their own children for personal use, however there are restrictions. This policy has been introduced to protect Doncaster’s most valuable assets – our young athletes.

Please note only Officials and those on duty are allowed out on the track or the inside of the arena, so we must ask you to take your photos from the stands or from the outside of the track.
