About our Senior Athlete Program
Cooma Athletics Club are lucky enough to offer athletics to everyone from 5 years through to Opens (U18+) and even Masters age groups (30 years plus).
Firstly, we offer a Little Athletics program for ages U6 to U17 (Cooma Little Athletics). Secondly, we also offer a program for U12 up to opens to compete in Capital Athletics (previously called ACT Athletics) competitions and our local Cooma Athletics program (“Senior athletics”).
Capital Athletics runs a Summer Series competition season on most Saturday afternoons throughout Summer, from October through to the end of March. The competitions are held in Canberra at either Woden Athletic track or the AIS. These competitions are open to Full Membership registered athletes from U13 and older, where they can compete against athletes from other ACT registered clubs at the competitions.
