Athletics Pathways

Where Little Athletics can take you.

The Athlete Development Pathway

The Athlete Development Pathway is the range of events, programs and options available to athletes of different ages as they progress through the sport. The diagram below offers an overview of what's available to South Australian athletes wanting to take their athletics further.

There's no single path

There's no single entry into athletics, and athletes rarely progress linearly through every stage. The diagram is indicative only — most athletes engage with some (or occasionally none) of the listed events, squads and programs at various points in their career.

There are many ways for an athlete to reach their full potential — and the path looks different for every one of them.

Build the skills

Wherever your athlete is on the journey, our coaches and Tuesday training sessions are here to help them get the most out of every event.
