Competitions
Competition Dates & Times
The Queensland Little Athletics Summer season typically runs from September through to March, with a break during the Christmas/New Year Period. For the 2025-26 season Aspley Little Athletics will commence competition on
Saturday 6 September 2025, with the season ending on Saturday 13 March 2026.
At Aspley Little Athletics, our season is divided into a pre-Christmas, Saturday morning weekly Centre competition meet, and post-New Year, Friday night weekly Centre competition meet. This has been structured this way to take advantage of the cooler evening conditions during the warmer January/February/March months.
Competition meets are split into Junior (Under 6s – Under 8s) and Senior (Under 9s – Under 17s) age groups.
Competition timetables are as follows:
Saturday Mornings
Junior
8:00am - 9:30am approx.
Senior
8:00am - 10:30am approx.
Friday Nights
Junior
6:00pm - 7:30pm approx.
Senior
6:00pm - 8:30pm approx.
2025/26 Season Schedule
Our athletics season runs from September to March, with weekly meets held on Saturday mornings at Paul O’Brien Oval, Bowden Park.
Special events, carnivals, and championships are scheduled throughout the season, giving athletes plenty of opportunities to compete, learn and have fun.
Each competition meet is divided into four (4) compulsory events, plus one (1) optional event, at times.
The success of our competitions is dependent upon the participation of our parents and caregivers. We require a minimum of four (4) parent volunteers for each age group (boys and girls) in order for events to be conducted safely.

Note: We are always desperately looking for volunteers for Set up and Pack up at the start and end of each weekly Centre competition meet. If we don’t have volunteers to assist with the Set up, events cannot start. Please register using our SignUp page to help out with our set up and pack up routines.
If you’re new to athletics or you feel like you need to brush up on your knowledge or technique, here is a video from Little Athletics Australia that steps you through the various events offered and what to do as a volunteer when you’re helping out.
