Rosewood Little Athletics has had a big few months, with eight meets before they break for Christmas after this coming Saturday.
The club has around 80 athletes and is built on community, not only letting kids compete alongside one another and enjoy sport on their weekends but also creating a connection between families in the area.
Athletics is an individual sport for the most part but so far the 2025/26 season has been just as much about the fun off the track as it has on it.
President of Rosewood Little Athletics, Kyrlie Thomson, commended the athletes for giving it their all across the first portion of the season and said she appreciates the impact made by all involved.
“We have such an amazing club,“ Thomson said.
“Our athletes are very inspiring and are always trying to better themselves every week.
“It’s great to see our athletes and parents cheering from the sideline to encourage the other athletes.
“I couldn’t be prouder to be part of such a great committee who help week-in week-out to make our club a success and of our amazing parents and athletes who make this club special,“ she said.
Recently their line marking machine stopped working and Rosewood United Soccer Club helped them mark their track lines for a meet, an example of the close sporting community in Rosewood.
It has been a great season of athletics so far, with even more fun to be had after the Christmas break.
