This page is designed to help current athletes and families find the information most relevant to their age group, membership category and stage of involvement in athletics. As a One Athletics club, Manly Warringah Athletics supports Little Athletics, Junior Athletics, Opens and Masters athletes, but the competition and training pathways are not the same for every cohort.
Little Athletics and Junior Athletics
Our core weekly club competition and club training program is offered for our Little Athletics and Junior Athletics cohorts. These athletes form the heart of our summer club program and have access to weekly competition, training opportunities and representative pathways during the season.revolutionise
Little Athletics is for athletes aged 7 to 12. Junior Athletics is for athletes aged 13 to 20, with different membership options depending on whether athletes are participating in weekly club competition and training or focusing on inter-club competition.
For practical details about weekly competition, please see the Weekly Club Competition page.
Opens and Masters
Opens and Masters athletes are an important part of Manly Warringah Athletics, but their pathway differs from the weekly Little Athletics and Junior Athletics club program. Competition for Open and Masters athletes generally takes place through NSW Athletics events across summer and winter, including track and field meets, cross country, road races, walks and championship events.
This section of the site will continue to develop as the club’s One Athletics structure evolves.
Para / Multi-Class
Manly Warringah Athletics welcomes Para / Multi-Class athletes and is committed to inclusive athletics opportunities across Little Athletics, Junior Athletics, Opens and Masters. Depending on age, classification and membership category, athletes may be able to participate in club competition, representative events and NSW Athletics competitions throughout the year.
For more information, please see our Para / Multi-Class page.
Competition pathways
Competition opportunities vary depending on age, membership category and stage of development. For Little Athletics and Junior Athletics members, competition may include weekly club competition, representative opportunities and championship pathways, while Opens and Masters athletes generally access competition through NSW Athletics events and associated championship structures.

Training
Training opportunities are available primarily for our Little Athletics and Junior Athletics cohorts as part of the club’s summer program. Additional development opportunities may also be available at different times across the season.
