A Message from our President
Dear athletes, families and supporters,
On behalf of the committee, it is my pleasure to welcome you all to the 2025-2026 Little Athletics season. Whether you are joining us for the first time or returning for another exciting year, we are thrilled to have you as part of our community.
It is both an honour and privilege to introduce myself as the new President of Wollongong City Little Athletics club. My name is Michelle Dalton and I’m not only passionate about athletics, but I am also a very proud parent of three daughters who are all actively involved in the club.
Like many of you, I first joined the athletics community through my children, and over time, I’ve come to truly appreciate the spirit, support and opportunities that little athletics provides. Watching my daughters grow in confidence, resilience and friendships on and off the track has inspired me to give back in a bigger way. I am genuinely excited to take on this role and continue building on the incredible work done by those who came before me.
Little Athletics is more than just running, jumping and throwing, it is about building confidence, making friends, learning new skills, and most importantly, having fun in a supportive and inclusive environment. Our club is proud to nurture these values, and we look forward watching our young athletes grow, challenge themselves and enjoy every moment.
I’d like to thank the committee for their ongoing support and dedication. Your tireless efforts behind the scenes keep everything running smoothly, and I look forward to working alongside you all. And thank you goes out to our volunteers, athletes and families who give their time and energy to make each week a success. Your ongoing support is the backbone of our club. If you are interested in joining our committee, reach out to any of our club committee members. No prior experience is necessary and even a small amount of time can make a big difference. It is also a great way to meet other families, be more involved in your child’s sporting journey and help shape the future of our club.
Let’s make this season one to remember. Full of personal bests, team spirit and great memories with a shared commitment to making this year the best one yet. If you see me around the track or at events, please feel free to come say hello. I would love to hear your ideas, feedback or simply have a chat.
Michelle Dalton
