The 2027 New Zealand Development Tour is an exciting opportunity for athletes from Little Athletics Victoria (LAVic) in the Under 14 and Under 15 age groups (Season 26/27). Selected athletes will spend 7 days touring with the LAVic team and will compete at the 2027 North Island “Colgate Games” in Whangārei.
This year is the 4th year Little Athletics Victoria have been able to offer this Development Tour to our Athletes, building on feedback from each previous trip. Parents have spoken very highly about the trip and the benefits, personal development and growth within their athletes. We are very proud that 3 of our athletes from our initial tour (2024) were recently selected in the Australian Under 18 team to compete at the 2026 Oceania Athletics Championships.
Athletes of all skill levels are encouraged to apply as this tour provides a development opportunity for all athletes, regardless of their skill level.
The ‘Athlete Information’ link below provides you with details about the tour, from competition and training information to the team composition and the costs to attend. Details of how to nominate are listed at the back of this document. If you wish to be considered for selection, simply complete the online nomination form before 11am on Monday 31st August 2026.
