2025/26 Age Groups & Specifications

Athletes between the ages of 5 and beyond can register. Eastlakes also offer Tiny Tots, a modified athletics program for children as young as 3. Parents, grandparents and friends are also encouraged to get involved by helping with the various events.

Note the removal of “Under” for junior age groups

Based on community feedback, the double-barrelled age group names (e.g. “13's (U14)”) have been replaced with simplified terminology such as “13s,” “14s,” etc. This clearer naming better reflects the structure of our NSW competitions, particularly as the majority of athletes are competing only at a grassroots or club level.

While the naming conventions used in NSW do not currently align exactly with those used at the national level, all athletes, both in NSW and nationally, compete in age groups based on year of birth. This ensures consistency in athlete groupings regardless of terminology.
