Souths Little Athletics is a not for profit sporting organisation catering for children aged 3 – 17.  Our Club started from humble beginnings in 1983.  We originally ran our competitions on Friday nights from the Annerley Juniors Soccer Club at Greenslopes.  Over the years Souths has produced many talented sports men and women and we look forward producing many more. South’s Little Athletics relies on parents, carers and supporters to volunteer to run the program each week. Many of our volunteers have gone on to officiate at Zone, State and National Levels.

Souths Little Athletics provides your children with an opportunity to compete and achieve regardless of ability through personal bests rather than winning.  However, there are opportunities for the more talented participants to obtain competitive experience at Region and State Level. 

Souths is one of 86 Little Athletics Centres in Queensland.  Each Centre is governed a team of volunteer committee members - please see 'Our 2025-26 Committee' below for details - who report to Little Athletics Queensland.  

 

Little Athletics Queensland (LAQ)

Little Athletics Queensland has 86 affiliated clubs (also called centres) with an annual participation of over 17,000 children, 15,300 of whom are registered athletes with their local club.

Participation is equal between boys and girls, and supported by an estimated 10,000 volunteers made up of parents, grandparents and lovers of the sport of Little Athletics.

LAQ's strategic plan was built ground-up in consultation with stakeholders and is designed as a plan for the whole sport of Little Athletics in Queensland, not just a plan for LAQ's governing body. Little Athletics aims to develop children of all abilities by promoting positive attitudes and a healthy lifestyle through family and community involvement in athletics activities.

More information about the structure and governance of LAQ is available on the LAQ website and via these documents:
