Events for the following athletes are included in the Little Athletics NSW Region Championships. These events are direct entry, meaning athletes do not progress from Zone to Region.

Medals will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. Certificates are awarded to all athletes.

Entry MUST be done online via this registration page.
A competitor may only compete in one age grouping.
Late entries will not be accepted.
Proof of the athlete’s classification will be checked against Athletics Australia’s Classification Master List, even if the athlete has previously competed at this event in past seasons.
Athletes from the above age groups who enter directly to the Region Championships will be added to the program and will be included with centre qualifiers. Qualifiers will be advised to centres via email and social media.
