Overview
Manly Warringah Little Athletics (MWLAC) is the home of little athletics (6's to 12's) and junior athletics (13's to U20's) on Sydney's Northern Beaches, based at the Sydney Academy of Sport, Wakehurst Parkway, Narrabeen. The 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 7:15am (with the occasional Friday night twilight session from 5:30pm). Our athletics program involves weekly competitions along with tranining sessions during the week for those atheltes 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.
There are five Clubs within MWLAC - Cromer, Manly, Peninsula, Seaforth and Wakehurst. Each club is differentiated by the colour of their uniform. Families usually choose a club based upon their friendships, or where they live and go to school.
We are one of the oldest, largest and most successful Centres in NSW having begun on the Northern Beaches in 1970.
