Happy New Year to you all.

We hope that you are safe and well.

Whilst we still remain very positive that 2022 will be a fabulous year, we do know some of you have met with Covid and danced that stressful routine (perhaps a few times like me!).

So let’s instead turn our focus to the kids (and of course you because we love our parent community) –  SLAC Little Athletics returns for the second half of the 2021/22 season this Saturday 15th January.

On Saturday 15th, we will combine with Brighton Little Aths (at Dendy Park) to run our Inter Centre event.  It was Sandy’s turn to host this year, but Brighton have kindly offered to help us out as the Sandringham track cannot be used by us quite yet.  We will share details of times and events mid-week – but for now we would really like to know if your child is able to attend. This will help us with planning group sizes, coaches, parents etc. in light of the current circumstances.  We would like to support Brighton as much as we can, given they are so generously hosting this event again for us.

Could you please click on this link and provide your child’s first and surname plus age group if they are attending.  It is much appreciated.

Please note that we will have a limited supply of merchandise and singlets available this Saturday at Brighton LAC.

Some dates for your immediate reference:

Sat 15th Jan – combined program with Brighton LAC

Sat 22nd Jan – our first session at home on our new track

Sat 29-30th Jan – State Combined Event Championships at Lakeside. (SLAC normal program on Sat 29th at our home track for those not participating in the State Combined Event).

Lastly, to continue the other dance we are having… our home track start date will be learnt this week when Council returns from holidays. Fingers crossed we are back Sat 22nd Jan for a community celebration!

Thanks again, happy new year to you all – and please do look out for our regular news bulletin mid-week with full details about the program for this Saturday.

This week it is all about Christmas and celebrating we are.  A shortened but extremely fun program has been designed for you all…yes kids, parents and coaches can all participate in the fun.  Here is how it will look:

• Prizes for Christmas Dress Ups  (parents you are included so pull out those amazing Christmas hats!).
• Any personal bests receive a ‘paper’ present which they can stick on their age groups Santa sack posted on the building walls at Duncan McKinnon.  The Age Group with the most presents/pb’s wins a prize.
• Bon Bon relays  – instead of a relay baton it is a relay ‘bon bon’.

The Program for Friday is HERE and we will need parents to help with the relays, particularly at the changeover spots as many kids have not participated in this before around the whole track.

The BBQ is free this week  (Merry Xmas from us!) and NO merchandise will be sold on Friday (sorry the device is with our President isolating).

WHEN DO WE START BACK?

Our first session of 2022 is always a combined Centre event and we are at Brighton Little Aths for this.  The date is Saturday 15th January (morning) and the format will be similar to a combined event.  More details in the new year.

Our first session back at our home Sandringham track will hopefully be Saturday 22nd January.

Weekly Coaching:

A few have asked if we will have any coaching over the January period.  We are currently looking at holding run training sessions only at either Moorabbin or Dendy Park.  We will let you know and if access is available to high jump/hurdles we will keep you informed.

LAVIC Track and Field Competition:

Communications received from LAVIC promoted the the upcoming 2022 Region Track and Field Competition for Under 9+ athletes.

This is an opportunity for your athlete/s to try their best amongst others in the region (and if successful continue onto State Competition). SLAC falls into the South Region which will take place at Duncan McKinnon on Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th February.

There is a draft schedule here but it does not include times as yet.

Many of our members participate in this competition and if you would like to know more, please chat with our Committee as they have all had children participate at some point.  For those who would like to know more including qualifying details please refer here.

Note on COVID from Nicole:

Following on from my communications earlier this week, I continue to do well and would like to let the community know all my family continue to test negative as do the SLAC Committee/others I associated as social contacts.  I thank those for their kind communications and support – let’s continue to role model this support and care to everyone……it’s not fun when you are in it!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and (fingers crossed) enjoyable New Year (remember last year!). Take care travelling and embrace being outdoors and free.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday and/or next year at the New Track!

President’s Message

Hello and happy warm weather days. Finally!

I am taking the opportunity to officially welcome you to the season and thank you for the effort you make travelling to Duncan McKinnon on a Friday night.  We are nearly there…the sandy aths track is nearly completed!

By way of introduction, I am the President of the Club and have been a part of this wonderful organisation for more than 8 years.  Like many, I am passionate about the club, it’s ethos and the positive people I am surrounded by each week.  We work hard to ensure the kids best interests are always considered and the focus holds strong around their development and growth.

How can you help?  By encouraging every child, getting in there and raking the sand pit, scanning the barcodes at the finish line & telling the athletes well done as they cross the line, getting around the track on a 400m/800m/1500m and supporting the efforts of the kids.  Let’s do this together to facilitate a positive nurturing environment to allow our athletes to flourish.

I have asked to include in this news bulletin frequently asked questions.  I receive many great queries and felt it was an opportunity to share these with you.

On a final note – the details for Friday night, plus weekly coaching all follow after FAQ’s.

Thank you

Nicole George

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where does my membership fee go?

If you paid the $200 early bird fee, $89 automatically goes to LAVIC for marketing, administration, insurances etc.  That leaves approximately $110 per member for SLAC to cover costs incurred over 16+ sessions such as equipment purchases/replacements, coaching costs, track rental, utilities, marketing and more.

Do you pay coaches?

Yes, we do pay coaches as they have all completed a coaching qualification.  There is a payment scale in place based on years of coaching and qualification.

It is important to note that we do have some wonderful parents who have voluntarily trained as a coach and help us offset coaching costs.  We are extremely grateful to Barry, Todd, Natasha, Mladen, Sarah and Ben who do this for the Club most weeks.

Do members of the Committee get paid?

No, we don’t.   we are all working parents who are care about the club and happy to give our personal time to run the operations.  We call out for help regularly as it is a big job getting everything down for more than 200 members each week.

How does my child get better to win?

This question should be rephrased to ‘how can my child get better to achieve a personal best?”.   Personal Bests are the sole focus at Sandringham Little Athletics Club.  We teach the children this.  Winning is amazing and we certainly celebrate athletes for this, but coming second third, nineth etc is also to be celebrated especially if it is a personal best.  Little Athletes teaches many life skills and how to win, lose, focus on your personal objectives are just some of these learnings.

Yelling on the sidelines for your child to go faster is not in the spirit of the club.  Certainly, offer encouragement as many children can hear spectator voices but be mindful of the language used as some make take comments the wrong way.  We encourage supportive, positive words of wisdom.

Do I have to do weekly coaching?

No, you don’t have to do weekly coaching, but it is offered to members Under 8+ and a great opportunity for the children to keep developing their skills in order to achieve personal bests.

Changes will be made to the weekly coaching from 6 December.  These details will be shared very soon.

We need a smaller hoodie size

We have now ordered 10 size 6 hoodies.  See Sarah at Merchandise to register your size 6 now.

Wet Weather Alert

A reminder where this is…. most of you found it on Friday or saw the email.  Our website has a wet weather link in the top left hand corner which will be updated at 4pm on Friday.

BBQ

We understand traveling to Duncan McKinnon on a Friday night is somewhat ‘different’ and we do appreciate the efforts you make to get here.  As our trial athletes will be attending for the first time and we will offer the free sausage again to everyone.  If anyone can give our Committee a hand to run the BBQ, we would appreciate that.

From next week, the BBQ will still operate so you have something to feed the kids on the way home but we will be charging a small fee to cover costs.  Our ‘tap and collect’ payment options will be available to use (no Diners or American express).

Collection of Patches

Returning Members and New Members who have shown proof of age can collect their competition patch from the Age Group Manager.  The patch is to be pinned onto the front of your t-shirt or singlet so that we can clearly see your name and the timing gates can scan your barcode.  Many people laminate their patches, so they last the whole season!

COVID Check

A reminder to check in and be aware of our Covid safe plan which is here.  Thank you for your assistance with this.

Thank you to everyone who helped us get last Friday off to a great start!  The smiling faces on the kids was so heart-warming.

Whoever organized the brilliant weather, well done…please arrange the same for this Friday as we don’t need Mike adding ‘rain songs’ to the play list!

Welcome new members and returning members.  We have had quite a few more join us since our last bulletin last week.

Being the start of the season, we have a fair amount of information to pass on and want you to be fully informed on what is happening.

Helpers  – please don’t skip this section …..we do need help as we are a voluntary run club

• As most of us work, the more people who can chip in a little each week, make it so much easier for us all to achieve the one goal: a fulfilling and fun little aths program for our kids
• We need parents to help each week, these jobs are not arduous and in fact engaging and rewarding.  There is something for everyone and it is not every week.
• The duties we need help with are listed via a ‘sign up’ link here:  don’t worry if you have never done anything like this before….neither did we, and we will help you every step of the way
• We are still in need of a couple of people to share the role of Age Group Manager – these support the coaches by managing the kids, ensuring they are at the right station, assist the children locating water bottle, jumpers, connecting them with friends etc.

Duty Roster Sign Up Here:

Program of Events

We usually rotate around a 3 program schedule however, as we are working on a single session Friday nights, compared to two sessions on a Saturday,  we may need to juggle the rotating program.

This is what you are all waiting for…. What time do we start on Friday?!?

On behalf of the committee, I am so sorry for the delay in this information. We have been stuck in the middle of waiting for Little Athletics Victoria’s Return to Safe Play Protocols (which arrived last night) and two councils signing off on our track use for tomorrow.

Anyway, it’s now done – and we start tomorrow night!

FRIDAY 5TH November – 5pm arrival for 5.30pm start (members only this week, trialling athletes start on 12th November) at Duncan McKinnon.

We do have some important information to share with you, so please read below on vaccinations, Covid requirements and weekly coaching sign ups.

Vaccination Position at SLAC

The Victorian State Government Department of Health & Human Services has adopted a position of our volunteers – parents/guardians, officials, coaches, Committee members and others necessary to conduct our sport – is not required to be checked or recorded if they are attending for the sole purpose of facilitating sanctioned Little Athletics activities.

While in practical terms, parents/guardians and all volunteers (both vaccinated and unvaccinated) can attend Little Athletics activities without having to confirm their vaccination status, SLAC feels strongly about the commitment towards the health & safety of its members. These are unique times we are facing and we are doing our best to ensure your primary wellbeing understanding the wide range of opinions in the community.

For this reason, we have introduced the policy below which is reflective of the Club’s commitment to your health & safety and inclusiveness. SLAC Committee’s major responsibility to all our athletes and their families is to strive to ensure our environment is as safe as it can be by minimising the risk of COVID transmission.

To do this, we need to will actively remove scenarios where any coaches, age group managers or supervisory roles involving close contact with our SLAC attendees are not held by unvaccinated people. SLAC respects the privacy of it’s members, volunteers and coaches and will offer an ‘opt out’ of coaching/duty roles and provide non-contact roles to ensure the wellbeing of our vulnerable athletes/members is paramount.

COVID Protocols for Safe Return to Little Athletics

Little Athletics Victoria published last night the protocols for us to adhere to in order to safely return to Little Aths:

· QR Code check is required and our COVID Safe Officers will need to check you have done this on entry.

· Please hand sanitise on entry

· No Spectators are permitted

· Parents & guardians to supervise their children during the session

· Athletes bring their own water bottles, don’t share equipment etc.

· All equipment used must be wipe with disinfection wipes after each use.

Weekly Training

Monday’s at Moorabbin: Small group coaching for Under u9-u16. Monday 8th November coaching events are: Long Jump, Hurdles, High Jump, Discus You must sign up for these sessions which can be accessed here: https://signup.com/go/kodtLpK

Once again, thank you so much for all your patience but so excited to be able to get out together run, skip, throw and HAVE FUN.

Dear Members.

With our last program of the season last weekend being washed out, we had to share the fun that we had at relays.

As you know, the overall relay program changed dramatically.  It was disappointing from a club and personal perspective so thank you to all those parents that embraced the change, drove to Casey Fields for 1 or 2 races and enjoyed the final aspect of the season.

Our athletics overall did well. We had a few podium finishes, some athletes ran in older age groups, some athletes ran with clothing inside out, mixed relays performed exceptionally well with only race day practice and all with the spirit and chanting of the entire club behind them.

Our Annual General Meeting

Tonight is our virtual AGM from 7pm – 7.30pm. We will need members to please to sit in on this zoom so that we can formally appoint any new committee members and formally discuss this season and our plans for next season. We’d love you there with us, just for 30mins max we promise…

Thank You

Our Club must say an Enormous Thank You to our key partner – Community Bank Sandringham

They are a valued partner of our organisation, we are excited that they offer some great opportunities to the local community and when you bank with them, over 80% of the profits go back into the community – this is how Community Bank Sandringham support us.

Over the past 12 years they have given over $30,000 back to Sandy Little Aths and we want them to keep being able to support all the community organisations through partnership or sponsorship programs. By clicking on this flyer you will see their latest current home loan campaign and we encourage members to go into the branch and talk to Matthew or call on 95216488 and make an appointment.

Dear Members.

We did it!  Well done!

As we approach the last week of Little Aths Seasons 20/21, we commend everyone for their support, enthusiasm and commitment  to make our Little Aths Program happen in 20/21.

Centre Championships – thank you everyone

Many of us saw the joy in what we do last weekend at Centre Championships – watching kids walking away with tinkling medals around their necks, singlets pinned with a colourful array of ribbons or with just seeing a child standing on the podium shouting to their parents that they did it.

Some of us felt joy when we learnt an athlete who started learning a new skill for the first time this season ended up winning a medal at the recent Little Athletics State Championships. Argh… not a time to get emotional, we have 1 more session to go AND State Relays.

This weekend we have decided to change the program to U6-U8 only (see below) as we have now realised that a very large component of the other age groups (including the Age Group Leaders) are participating in State Relays and can’t be there.

However, if you have an Under 9+ athlete not participating in State Relays and would like them to come to Saturday session please email Nicole on [email protected] to see what can be done.

This Saturday (u6-u8 only)

The reduced program for Saturday starts at 8.15am (warm ups) and the full program of events is here:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fVQg4SNxJ_dC4MfrR19ktv10ZVvAQ4mK/view?usp=sharing

The Parent volunteer sign-up form is here:  https://signup.com/go/HGXDfXm

State Relays

Timetables and Teams have been circulated.  Good Luck to all our athletes.  Parents Duty has been given to us and the link is here for you to sign- up SLAC State Relays

Under 16 Athletes

Unfortunately, due to the year we have had and the relentless re-scheduling of events, we will not be able to formally congratulate and farewell our Under 16 athletes. These athletes are all amazing role models for Sandy Little Aths and reflect our true spirit. We can’t believe they now finish their Little Aths era, it seemed only yesterday they were doing Under 6’s, but we hope they will be back next season as our new coaching recruits.

We would like to take this opportunity to say well done to all the girls and invite them back to our home at Glamis Avenue when the new track is finished and we hold our official opening:

Congratulations to Ella Maskiell, Amelia Spenceley, Zoe Bilsborough, Ella Rankin and Jasmin Edmond

The Uniform Shop has now wound down. But we do still have a few lovely snug Hoodies….only sizes 14 and up are now left (sorry no smaller sizes remain). Our hoodies kept these two boys warm on Saturday at the States Track and Field Competition. What a bargain!

Lastly, don’t forget….the fun of little aths can continue with Cross Country through winter.  Great to maintain fitness in the offseason or assist in your fitness for winter sports.  https://baysidexc.teamapp.com/?_webpage=v1

See you on Saturday – and thanks again for all your enthusiasm and support!
