General Information

Plympton Flyers Little Athletics Club runs a regular competition for our athletes from U6 to U17. We also cater for ages 3-4 in our Tiny Tots program.

Our meets are held most Sundays from October to March, at 8:45 am at Hamilton Secondary College, 815 Marion Road, Mitchell Park. We encourage all our athletes to participate in regional and state competitions if they wish.  For full details, please see our Full Season Program.  For details regarding our fees, please see our registration page.

We offer a training program, which is conducted by coaches every Tuesday during the season at 5:00 p.m. at Hamilton Secondary College. The costs of training are included in your registration fees. Attending regular training gives your child the best opportunity to develop their skills and love of athletics, and to achieve their personal best on competition days.

We have an annual recognition program for all athletes who demonstrate consistent participation, achieve personal best performances, and set club and state records. These are presented at our Presentation Day at the end of every season.

Our program is only made possible through parent support, and all parents are required to participate in a role on regular competition days and any special events throughout the season. As a parent or guardian, you play an essential role in delivering an enjoyable program for athletes.  Each week, parents work together to help run the program, and it simply wouldn’t work without them. Our club has benefited tremendously from an involved parent group, and it makes an enormous difference to each child’s experience.

We have an active and passionate management committee.  If you are interested in joining our committee in a large or small capacity, we would love to hear from you.
