Want to be considered for selection for the 2023 Little Athletics SA State Team?

Each year, Little Athletics SA selects a State Team to compete at the Australian Little Athletics Championships. These Championships will be held over three days (in April) and are hosted yearly by each Little Athletics State and Territory.

An independent panel selects a team of athletes each year to compete at these Championships. Under 13 able-bodied athletes and Under 13-14 multi-class athletes compete in the Australian Teams Championships, Under 14 able-bodied athletes and Under 15-16 multi-class athletes compete in the Australian Junior Athletics Championships, as well as Under 15 able-bodied athletes who compete in the Australian Combined Event Championship.
