The Combined Event Championships is offered to U9 – U17’s.The number of combined events per age group is a graduated increase to reduce undue pressure on younger athletes and encourage athlete’s development.  A strong emphasis is on the participation of children in a wider range of events, rather than the early specialisation in one or two specific events.Additionally, the State Team Selectors will refer to the U15 Heptathlon results when selecting athletes for the State Team.The Combined Event is considered one event; therefore, athletes failing to start or make a trial, in any of the set events of the Combined Event will not be allowed to take part in the remaining events per the LAQ Rules.

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.  The extent of the Teams element varies according to the rules and regulations that are applicable to the various age groups.

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.
