The Coles Australian Little Athletics Championships – ALAC, is an annual National Championships, which is the pinnacle event for Little Athletics.
All Member Associations across Australia participate and send Teams to compete in the various age groups.
ALAC has an overarching Teams element to the event, with Teams experience being an important and fundamental aspect and point of difference with other events.
Athletes compete for individual rewards; however, their performances contribute towards the Team awards and Trophies that are on offer, which is the major difference and focus of ALAC.
Featuring Team activities, Opening and Closing Ceremonies with Teams Marching, Team Chants, the athletic competition along with social interactions, ALAC provides athletes and their families with an outstanding experience.
