All children should participate in the full range of athletic events. The programme is varied and well balanced. Event specialization is actively discouraged at all age levels.

Parents and coaches teach children to be good winners as well as good losers. The major emphasis is on personal improvement, not winning.

Little Athletics is a family activity, NOT a child minding service. The involvement of parents goes hand in hand with participation of the children for the enjoyment of all.

Children may not be left at Little Athletics without appropriate adult supervision, as agreed to at the time of registration.
