The kids compete in teams of five and compete in seven events on the day. If you want to compete with someone in particular, email me at info@corroboree.org.au when you’ve registered so I can make notes. We put the teams together after the entries have closed. Teams can be boys, girls or mixed but they all compete against each other in the same events.

I know we have a lot of new members in these age groups, but please don’t be scared to join in the fun. No experience necessary!

Events

• Hurdles Relay – the kids do a hurdles race and run back down the side of the hurdles and tag their team mates – just like a normal relay.
• Long Jump Challenge – kids do a standing jump for distance and we add up all their distances to get a team score.
• Throw for Target (Vortex) – kids throw a vortex and aim to get it into some baskets for points, they get points depending on how close they get to the baskets
• Discus bowling – they roll a discus into a scoring zone for maximum points
• Throw for distance (Shot) – they throw a soft shot put ball into a scoring zone for points
• Slalom Run – running in and out of poles, zig zagging and tagging their team mates – a relay.
• Sprint Combination Run – the final event of each session is a relay where one kid runs 200m and the other four run 100m on the round track. Was a great fun event last year.
