As a parent, your support shapes your child’s experience in Little Athletics. This sport offers lifelong benefits - fitness, friendships, and the joy of play. Whether they pursue elite competition or stay active for fun, your encouragement makes a difference. Most importantly, let them enjoy the journey! A positive and supportive approach helps build their love for sport and keeps them engaged for years to come.

Please note: Souths Little Athletics is not a drop and run activity. The Club is run by a team of volunteers and our Saturday meets are only possible with the support of parents, carers and other supporters and volunteers.

Please add your name to our Volunteer / Parent roster (click here) as many times as you can through the season - we need all the spots filled in the roster each week for your child/ren's optimal enjoyment and smooth running of the program.

Be Part of the Action!

Your help is vital for supporting our athletes and keeping events running smoothly. From setting up and packing down equipment, raking, spiking, and measuring to recording results, managing age groups, officiating, time keeping, and helping to coach our young athletes — every role is important.

Getting involved not only ensures events can be completed but also allows you to share in your child’s sporting journey. No experience? No problem! There’s a role for everyone, and your help makes all the difference. Chat with one of our friendly Souths committee members to find out how you can contribute!

Parent Helper Videos 🎥

Many parents and guardians join their local Centre without knowing how Little Athletics events operate. To help, Little Athletics Queensland has created a How-To Video Series—a collection of short, 60-90 second videos designed to give you the confidence to assist at weekly meets.
