Tiny Tots

Do you have a 3-5 year-old? You might like to consider our Tiny Tots program. We ran our first Tiny Tots program in 2019 and it was well received.

Active kids voucher

We are an approved provider for the NSW Government Active Kids Voucher. During the registration process you may see an option to add the Active Kids voucher. If you select this option please be aware that your child WILL NOT be a financial member until the voucher has been processed.

The preferred method for QLAC is as follows.

– Follow the process to register your child with QLAC, and pay the registration fee IN FULL. Your child is now a financial member.

– Forward your Active Kids voucher to qbnlac@gmail.com. Include your child’s name and birthdate as it appears on the voucher, and your banking details (BSB, account number, account name). We will submit the voucher and refund you.

– Please be aware that our committee is currently only two people – we will ensure that your vouchers are processed before the end of December.

Family, Fun and Fitness

Queanbeyan Little Athletics Centre (QLAC), also known as Queanbeyan Lightning, is for:

Family – Parents assisting with activities. There’s more information about being a parent volunteer, the role of parents and FAQs. AND WE NEED YOUR HELP TO KEEP OUR CLUB ALIVE!
Fun – Emphasis is on individual improvement rather than winning, so we talk Personal Bests for everyone.
Fitness – Athletes are involved in a range of activities to improve their fitness.

QLAC is affiliated with Little Athletics ACT (LAACT). This means that QLAC athletes can compete against other clubs in the ACT region at major events to gain more experience or just to meet up with other athletes. LAACT publishes a regional calendar which is updated regularly.

Last season QLAC had more than 200 Little Athletes at Wright Park, many Personal Bests (PBs), parent helpers (essential) and a number of club records broken. We look forward to seeing everyone back for the new season.

To check what age group your Little Athlete is an age group calculator is used. And during the season we will publish meet photos to our Facebook page – follow us there!

Financing our Operations

QLAC is committed to keeping registration fees and uniform costs as low as possible so that all children can take part. To achieve this aim, parents run a canteen and fundraisers to support the costs of affiliation (about 3/4 of the registration fees go on affiliation).

Patrons

Life Members Robyn Murphy, Sam Greenland.
