Very disappointing news out of GLAC but we will not be taking to the track this Saturday (13th November 2021).

Just a quick reminder that we will be set-up at Landy Field tomorrow morning (Sat 6th Nov) between 8.30 and 10.30 for athletes to collect their registration bibs and for families to purchase any uniform items they may need prior to the first week of competition on Sat 13th November.

Drop in at the club marquee to ask any questions you may have.

Good evening all,

The Victorian Government, through the Chief Health Officer, has issued vaccination directions that directly impact on volunteers at every level of the sport.

It is important that families understand the implications for themselves, their centre and the sport of Little Athletics.

LAVic has compiled a list of vaccination FAQ’s to assist families understand the vaccination requirements.

Read up on it here :https://lavic.com.au/news/lavic-vaccination-faqs-32831/

Hi all,

The Victorian Government has announced vaccination requirements for employees and volunteers working in community sport.

The mandate will apply to all LAVic employees and volunteers (this includes those employed, contracted to, and volunteering at Centres & Clubs affiliated with LAVic, as well as those employed and volunteering at Region and Association level).

By 15 October 2021, these individuals must be able to provide evidence that they have:

• Received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccination, or
• Have evidence of a booking to receive their first dose by 22 October 2021, or
• Have a medical exemption, evidenced by an authorised medical practitioner.

From 26 November 2021, the individuals listed above will be required to have received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine (unless they have a medical exemption).

As all parents are required to participate in club duties over the course of the season you will all need to abide by these vaccination requirements.

GLAC have advised the the LAVic Registration portal has been opened to accept new registrations for the 2021/2022 Track & Field season. Click here to go to the registration portal.

• Competition starts at 8.15am and the day finishes around 12.30pm (the morning may be split into two blocks depending on number of registered athletes – more details will be advised closer to the first week of competition).
• There are limits on attendees at the venue due to COVID requirements so registrations may well be capped – get in quick.

Congratulations to all athletes who set new club records during the 2020-2021 Track & Field season.

The end-of-season presentations for SBLAC are scheduled for Sunday 6th June at 5.00pm at South Barwon Football & Netball Club.

We would love to see all of our athletes and families in attendance to help celebrate the end of what has been a very challenging season.

Given that the current circuit breaker lockdown is planned to end on the 3rd June, we should still be able to conduct this event as planned. If the state government decides to extend the lockdown period we will most likely change our plans and conduct an online presentation. I will provide an update via email, website and social media sites as soon as we know what the situation is.

DATE: Sunday 6th June 2021

TIME: 5.00pm onwards

LOCATION: South Barwon Football & Netball Club, McDonald Reserve, 77-79 Reynolds Rd, Belmont
