What are we all about at Team Caulfield
Little Athletics is all about fun, fitness and family at Team Caulfield for all children aged 5 to 16. We want to see all of our children having fun, making friends, improving their fitness and foundational skills of running, jumping and throwing. Little Athletics is not about being the fastest or strongest, it is about doing your best and continually improving week on week.
Team Caulfield details
- We are based at Duncan Mackinnon Reserve Murrumbeena.
- $200 to join for the season. Also budget $35 for a running top if you are a new athlete.

- Parents/Carers need to understand that they are an important part in keeping our sport moving forward. Parents are expected to assist every second week on a rostered basis. Its not scary, you don’t need to be an expert, and its actually great fun to be involved with the children.
