Championships

Each year our 7s to 20s athletes can compete against other Centres in our area at the Zone Championships. We encourage all athletes to participate in the championships. It is a great opportunity to compete for our Centre, meet other Centres in our Zone and aim for some personal best results.

Athletes may progress from Zone to Region Championships in the 8s, 9’s, 10s, 11s, 12s, 13s,14s,15s age groups.

Athletes in the 7s may contest Zone Championships but cannot progress to Region.

Events are offered at Zone for the 16s, 17s and Under 20, but there is no progression to Region or NSW Junior Championships. Athletes in 16s, 17s, Under 20 direct enter the NSW Junior Championships.

Para events for athletes with disabilities are offered at Zone; however, these are participatory and there is no progression from Zone to Region. Para progression commences at Region.

The Zone Championships will be held on:

Friday 28 November, Saturday 29 November and Sunday 30 November 2025.

We are pleased to hold it at our home ground, Barton Park, North Parramatta. So be sure to nominate and come and be a part of it. We want to see as many of you there as a part of the Parramatta City Athletics Team over that weekend.

The program of events is attached here. 

Note this is a DRAFT and the not before times may change once numbers per events are finalised. The day the event is scheduled will not change.

Please also note that the times given are ‘not before times’. They are not competing times. It is advised for you to arrive at least an hour before your athletes ‘not before times’ event time, this allows time for them to get signed in, settled in, warmed up and ready for marshalling.

Athlete nominations are now OPEN via ResultsHQ.

ResultsHQ is the same website where you see your athlete results. OR can be discussed in person at the Zone table with Kerri-Anne on Friday, 24 October and Friday, 31 October.

KEY NOMINATION DETAILS:

• Closing date for nominations is Friday 31 October at 9pm (there are no extensions to this as we need to lodge that weekend)
• Athletes in the 7s to 11s age groups can nominate up to four (4) events.
• Athletes in 12s to 20s age groups can nominate up to six (6) events.
• Confirmation of the events entered by athlete will be distributed mid-November as we do have limits on the number of athletes we can enter in each event and need to review all the nominations.

HOW TO NOMINATE:

For instructions on how to nominate your athlete for the Zone Championships, please see attached "ResultsHQ Nomination Steps

We cannot run these events without the generous time and assistance of parents and carers. We need parents/carers of athletes to assist with one duty per athlete over the weekend. All clubs provide volunteer support as:

• officials
• helpers at events
• helpers for marshalling of athletes
• canteen helpers
• BBQ helpers

We are allocated mostly BBQ and Canteen duties and this is very important to the club as a fundraising opportunity, especially as we have not secured many sponsorships this year.

Sign up for the assistance needed to run the championships is to be completed via SignUpGenius.

Please follow this link to sign up for your duties.

If there are extenuating circumstances that prevent you from assisting or you require a duty that will accommodate your circumstances – please speak to Kerri-Anne the Championships officer.

If you would like to learn more about becoming an event official, LANSW has launched an online education platform for community officials.

The process is very straightforward please visit the Education Hub and get started: https://lansw.etrainu.com/training
