Next Athletics - Have a Go

Next Athletics - the Official Junior Program of Athletics Australia - is proud to officially partner with the Australian Olympic Committee as part of the #HaveAGo campaign. Be inspired by our Australian Athletics Stars and set your child up for success by getting involved in an exciting, fun, flexible, and inclusive Next Athletics program.

Launched in March 2024, Next Athletics caters to the specific needs of children aged 3 - 12 years and has been designed with modern families in mind. Programs run on a school term basis over 8-9 weeks with a weekly session lasting between 45 and 60 minutes depending on the program level. Across the 4 program levels, Next Athletics uses a fun and engaging games-based format and help develop athletics and life skills, as well as the competence, confidence, and motivation to be active for life!
