The Hills District Athletics Club
The Hills Athletics Club also operates at A.H. Whaling Reserve to provide
the opportunity for people to participate in various forms of athletics. One of the
primary objectives of that club is to provide a transition from Little Athletics
through to the ‘junior’ ranks of the Senior Club.
The Club has been in existence for some 25 years and is recognised as one of the top
clubs in the State. Many champions have evolved from our Senior Club and almost
all have come through Little A’s. Currently, the club has a number of international
and nationally ranked athletes but perhaps more importantly, has many younger and
older athletes who enjoy keeping fit and having competition at a level, which suits
them.
Competing in the NSW Inter-District competition as North West Metro in combination
with the Cumberland Ryde Hornsby Club, Hills have been extremely successful and with
the continued support of the Little A’s Centre will maintain a high standing on the
sport.
Coaching is critical for success in athletics. The club is fortunate to have
qualified, experienced coaches able to guide athletes in all track, field, cross country
and road events.
Training is held at Whaling Reserve at 6:30 pm on Monday and Wednesday nights. Little A’s
older athletes are welcomed to come along, as are any interested parents.
This season we are hoping to have some athletes from the seniors come down on a
Saturday morning to compete with our older athletes.
