Little Athletics operates under the core values of Family, Fun, and Fitness. The goal of LAQ (Little Athletics Queensland) is to ensure that every weekly meet organised by each centre embodies these values. These meets typically run for 1 to 3 hours, depending on centre size and the range of activities offered. During this time, young athletes, aged from U6 to U17, have the opportunity to participate in up to six different run, jump and throw activities. Additionally, some centres extend their offerings to include a Tiny Tot program catering to 3-4 year olds.
Weekly meets, held either in the Summer or Winter season depending on where you are located, vary from centre to centre, with activities tailored to available facilities and participant numbers. Alongside traditional track and field events, centres also integrate play training and game-based activities aimed at skill development and enjoyment. Such activities are particularly effective in introducing children, especially those in the U6 age group, to the sport.
