National Progression
The Australian Little Athletics Championships will take place in Adelaide from the 25-27 April 2025. This is a team-based event for Little Athletics U13 athletes and athletes must nominate to be considered for the team. Little Athletics U13 members who have nominated will be considered for selection based on performances from either or both the WA State Championships (7-9 March) or the WA State Junior Championships (22-23 March). For the avoidance of doubt, athletes can choose to compete in either Championship, or both, and any results will be considered as part of the selection process. Athletes must be registered with the Little Athletics Program to be considered for selection.
This event is NOT a qualification event for the Australian Track & Field Championships, which will take place in Adelaide from 4-8 April 2025 as the WA State Junior Championships are conducted under Little Athletics Rules.
