OUR CENTRE HISTORY

Caboolture Branch Little Athletics Centre Inc. was first opened in 1981 operating from Caboolture High School. The Centre unfortunately closed in 1987 after failing to form a committee.

The Centre was re established following a public meeting in 1990 and located at its current venue. Now in our 22^nd season since being re established the Centre involves more than 250  young people and their families in its activities each year. The centre operated on a Saturday morning until in 2001 when competition moved to Friday nights with the introduction of floodlighting at the oval.

Our programs have grown over the years and as well as our weekly competition meets and regular training sessions for our U6 to U17 athletes, we offer a Tiny Tots skills program for 4 year olds, the  Athletics Skills Awards Program for our younger athletes and the CAPS Sports Leaders program for our seniors.  We link with the State Sporting organizations for AWD athletes and provide opportunities for Athletes with disabilities competing at our Centre. For our U13 to U17 athletes transition opportunities to Queensland Athletics competitions are offered through Caboolture Road Runners Club.

For our senior athletes ,parents and volunteers we conduct the Nationally accredited LAQ Officials Scheme and link to accreditation through Athletics Australia.  We actively support those of our parents who wish to become accredited Track and Field Coaches.

The Centre has successfully hosted Zone and Regional Championships in 1994/95, 98/99, 2002/03 2006/07 and the LAQ State Pentathlon Championships in 2003/04 as well as its own open Track and Field and Pentathlon Carnivals.

In the 2010/2011 season the Centre was devastated by severe flooding. The assistance and support the Centre received from its members, the local community, the athletics community, Little Athletics Sponsors and the State Government flood relief funding has been incredible. We thank each and every one who has enabled us to not only be back up and running but back up and running with brand new throwing and jumping facilities, equipment and canteen and shed fit out.

We extend our thanks to all previous committee members for their hard work and vision. Their commitment has seen the development of a centre of which we are justly proud.
