Overview

Manly Warringah Athletics (MWA) is the home of little athletics (6's to 12's), junior athletics (13's to U20's), opens (20+) and masters (30+) athletes on Sydney's Northern Beaches, based at the Sydney Academy of Sport, Wakehurst Parkway, Narrabeen. The little athletics season runs over the summer period from September through to March each year with around 20 weeks of competition held on Saturday mornings from 7:30am (with the occasional Friday night twilight session from 5:30pm).  Our athletics program involves weekly competitions along with training sessions during the week for those athletes who want to develop and improve. We encourage participation in a large number of events for enjoyment and skill development combined with achieving personal bests and having fun.
