The Victorian Team was successful by the barest of margins (2.5 points out of approx. 700) in winning the coveted Trevor Billingham Teams trophy for the second year in a row. It was an outstanding team effort and a brilliant days competition by all. The weather fortunately "held off" during the day just long enough for "a downpour of rain" during Presentations ! Link below to Knox website for some great pics A big thanks to Matt & Ebony Sturgess, Darrin & Tammy Stephens and Prem for their assistance with transportation of the WA team and help with celebration dinner at the clubrooms. Congratulations to WA who won the Alan Triscott handicap trophy, so they were a very happy camp

Specifically this review is in relation to our role as a youth and family sporting organisation and how we can address issues concerning family obesity, foundations for sporting initiatives with young people and the restoration of a family fun and fitness culture in Australia to address concerns about the levels of physical activity in the community that might be addressed through Little Athletics initiatives.

Feb 2008 - Our High Jump coach Lindsay Harrison is really thrilled about the new High Jump SETUP record at Waverley. The previous PB in setting up the HJ mats has been slashed from several minutes to less than 3 minutes now. 1, 2 or 500 kids, we are now ready to go for HJ in a flash – No sweat!
Just weeks prior to our 2007 Open Day, many of you would have witnessed two strange looking steel frames arriving on a Crane truck during our Saturday morning competition. The Waverley Superman team was needed to carry these heavy frames across to their new resting place. During
the following week, a small dedicated team burnt the daylight savings hours to
attach sides and a roof to what would quickly become our new HJ sheds.
Finally, a "graffiti proof coating" was applied so that potential
graffiti is easily and quickly removed. The sheds were "solely
funded by Waverley Little Athletics" and with that in mind, can we all
make sure that we report any misuse, damage or vandalism to the appropriate
people in charge. Lindsay
look forward for new challenges with all that spare time he has now every
week!!! 13th
