Join us in celebrating this years SA Kids’ Athletics Day May 14th. A day dedicated to celebrating children and young people across the globe participating in athletics and being active. 

It is easy to join, all you have to do is be active!

81% of adolescents (11-17 years) currently do not meet the World Health Organisation’s recommended levels of physical activity for 5-17 years which is 60 minutes of activity a day despite regular physical activity promoting mental and physical health. Time to change this and get Aussie kids and teens moving!

Athletics is the basis of almost all sports with literally no barriers to participation… walking, running, jumping, throwing – you’re probably already doing it nearly every day!  We believe that every child is born to move, play and explore no matter where they are in the world or their individual circumstance. We are aiming to use the power of athletics to inspire children and young people all over the world to get moving, be more active, develop their skills and confidence and to connect with sport and physical activity for life!

The 2023 Kids’ Athletics Day theme is MOVE, PLAY, EXPLORE. Whether it’s moving to get from A to B, playing athletics’ activities with friends, or exploring new skills, the aim is to encourage kids to get out there and have fun being active.
