The FAQs

mosmanla — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 11:22:26 +0000

New to Mosman Little Athletics or thinking of joining? Here are some answers to the more common questions:

How do I register? Check out the Registration page for all the details including the link for online registration and payment, which makes our lives so much easier!

How do I know which age group my child is in? Check out the Registration Grid for 2011/12 including Tots grouping.

The grid says my child is too young – can I still join them up? Sorry no and no exceptions.

But I thought Mosman was a friendly club? Well of course we are but we are concerned about the safety of our younger athletes and any younger is just too young.

What’s a Premium Parent? The club is run by volunteers and Little Athletics is based on the expectation that parents will assist in some way. But we recognise this is not always possible and the extra fees from Premium Parents help us to organise extra paid helpers on training nights.

Will my child break a world record if I join? No idea, but hopefully they will have a fun time, keep their fitness up and will learn some techniques from the excellent group of coaches we have at Mosman.

Can my child trial before joining? Yes you can do a one week free trial but if you wish to continue you must then register. Note trials are only available at Balmoral from October.

Is the uniform included in the registration cost? If not, do I have to buy one? No it is not included. Uniform is not compulsory for training but is required if your child wants to compete in any championships. Having said that, many children like to wear the uniform to feel part of the club.

Preparing for the new season

mosmanla — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 10:58:10 +0000

Your revamped committee has started to prepare for the new season with the first registration set for Balmoral on Monday September 5th. Once again we encourage you to complete initial registration and payment online and then complete it by collecting age patches and numbers. We will make all the forms available on this website to speed up the process.

The first full training session at Balmoral will be held on Monday October 10th with the usual pre-season sessions at Shore Oval on September 12th and 19th.

There have been some changes to the committe with new members Joe Zucchiatti (Snr Age Mgr), Andrew O’Donnell (Vice President/Sponsorship), Katrina Oxenham (Junior Registrar), Rowena Harvey-Palmer/Michelle Chadwick (Junior Age Mgrs), Nicole Horton (Publicity/Uniforms/Trophies), Darren Gocher (Championships Officer) and Sue Moore (Senior Registrar). Unfortunately long standing hard working members Ken Raupach (President) & Jenni Masters have had to step down from their roles due to work pressures but both will continue to serve on the Committee.

Which means we dont have a President – so if you would like to take on the role please let us know. And of course you dont have to do everything Ken does/did! Representing the club at meetings is the key role of the President so if that’s something you’re good at, talk to a committee member.

Cross Country News

mosmanla — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 11:33:21 +0000

The NSW Little Athletics State Cross Country Championships were held on Sunday 3 July at Scheyville National Park. There was good representation from the Mosman Club and some impressive results. It started off as a bitterly cold morning, with thick fog covering the course. However, by the time of the first race, the sun had come through and the fog had lifted to provide perfect running conditions. It was a challenging, grassy, meandering course, with several hills. There was also some very tough competition from Little Athletics clubs all over the State. The Cross Country Championships are always one of the hardest and keenly fought on the calendar and this year’s was no different.

Sophies Gocher and Wickham

Mosman was represented by 17 athletes. Some of the highlights included:

The 2 Sophie’s – Sophie Wickham and Sophie Gocher, battling it out to finish 3^rd and 4^th respectively in the U10 girls. Great result from Sophie Wickham to pick up the bronze medal.
The team of Nicholas Corel (10^th), Thomas Corel (16^th) and Emmanuel Rantzos (22^nd) claiming the silver medal in the U11 boys teams event
Jess Raupach running an impressive 6^th in the U14 girls
Other top 10 finishers included Jazz Gregan – 10^th in the U7 girls, Locky Khun – 8^th in the U9 boys and Charlie Cannon – 9^th in the U9 boys.

Locky & Charlie

The Club was also proudly represented by Henry Oxenham (U7 boys); Gemima Davies (U7 girls); Finlay Oxenham (U8 boys); Emily Gocher, Charlie Gregan (U8 girls); Thomas Davies, Max Gregan (U10 boys); and Gemma Wickham (U11 girls).
