Coastal Districts is a little athletics centre in the south western coastal suburbs of Adelaide South Australia in the City of Holdfast Bay. (click here to read more about our name change)

As a little athletics centre we organise and conduct weekly competitions for all athletes. We have an elected Committee of Management that is responsible for the administration and conduct of the Centre’s affairs. We design our own event program and timetable for each week, co-ordinate the activities of voluntary workers, register our members with the Little Athletics SA, ensure we have adequate equipment, record athlete results and manage our own finances. We also operate as a little athletics club organising training sessions for athletes and keeping them informed of any centre, regional or state events that are being held.

We are the local little athletics centre and club for suburbs such as Glenelg, Somerton Park, Hove, Brighton, Seacliff, Glengowrie, Morphettville, Warradale, Oaklands Park, Dover Gardens, Seacombe Gardens, Seaview Downs, Kingston Park, Marino, and surrounding suburbs.​

Little Athletic’s Motto

Fun – Fitness – Family
​
Little Athletic’s Mission

To develop children of all abilities by promoting positive attitudes and a healthy lifestyle through family and community involvement in athletic related activities.

What is Little Athletics

Little athletics is a uniquely Australian sport for children aged 3 – 17 years.

It is the sport of track & field athletics with events specially modified to suit the ages and abilities of children. A range of running, jumping, throwing and walking events are conducted.

Little Athletics is not as much about winning, as it is about having fun, making friends and getting families involved in healthy activities. Emphasis is placed on participation and personal improvement. Little Athletics recognises that children vary widely in shape, size and athletic ability, and caters for them all.
