Tuesday, 06 October 2026 Good evening Sharkies, I hope everyone has enjoyed a refreshing break over the past few weeks and is ready for the exciting second half of the season. I’m sure many of our athletes are eager to get back out on the track and field! We return this week with our full program: Wednesday, 7 October : Tiny Tots: 5:00 pm – 5:45 pmFriday, 9 October : Full competition program for all age groups, including Tiny Tots. You might notice an increase in some age group numbers, as returning athletes traditionally make their way into the fold after the holidays.  Rest assured, the committee continues to monitor the age group numbers and has a few strategies to manage them if required. We look forward to seeing all our athletes and families back at the track for what promises to be a fantastic few months ahead. David and the Springwood Team Friday 9 October’s program Coaching this week Wed 7 OctMiddle DistanceCoach Judy4 – 5:30 pm$5 |  8yrs + Thus 8 OctLONG/TRIPLERach Athletics4 – 5:30 pmU11+ Sun 27 SeptSPRINTSCoach David3 – 3:45 pm U6 – U94 – 5 pm U10 – U17 Centre Captains Nominations CLOSE 7 OCT We’re excited to bring back Centre Captains this season!
