CENTRE EVENTS
Athletes compete in running, throwing and jumping events in a program suited to the age and development of the athlete. The focus of the athletes is to perform at their personal best. Most Centres will offer training nights focussed on skill development.
REGION CARNIVALS
All Regions host these Region Carnival events each season:
– Relays
– Track and Field
– Cross-Country
Note: Some Regions may conduct a Region Combined Events Carnival.
Athletes may enter Region Carnivals, dependent on the entry qualifications having been met for that particular Carnival. The Region Relays, Track and Field, and Cross-Country Carnivals are the qualifying competition for their respective State Championships event.
