athletes.

QUALIFYING STANDARDS
For athletes interested in entering the Youth State Championship, athletes must meet minimum qualifying times and measurements (“qualifying standards”) for
each age group and events.
Qualifying standards must be met from competition nights at centre level being our centre or when visiting another centre or any Little Athletics NSW competition.
If
the standard is achieved in an event outside of a Little Athletics NSW competition, then it must be achieved under the Little Athletics specifications e.g., weights and heights and when competing in their own age group.
