Little Athletics

For children and families

Little Athletics is a family activity for all children and their families, regardless of ability. We encourage the participation of all children to improve their own personal ability and performance across all disciplines.

Through friendly competition and training, athletes learn how to run, jump and throw correctly while developing fitness, confidence and new friendships.

Our Club
History

In 1984, Brian Johnston founded Ashmore Little Athletics with a vision to provide an outlet for athletes to develop skills across all disciplines in a fun and relaxed environment.

From these humble beginnings, and under the watchful eye of Brian, the club has grown into one of the most successful sporting clubs on the Gold Coast.

Ashmore has fostered the talent of many athletes, including world champion and Olympic gold medallist Sally Pearson, Hockeyroo Rosie Malone, and multiple national champions.
