Zone Championships
The Zone carnival is the major event for the North East Metro Zone, and there is one event per season with the following clubs. We’re heading to Blacktown this year with track and field events held over two days.
Date: 23-24 November 2024
Location: Blacktown International Sports Centre
Eligibility: Athletes from 7s to 17s can nominate to compete at Zone.
Selection criteria: All athletes will be asked via email to express interest (and nominated events) via an online form. Final selection will be made by the Mosman Athletics Championships Committee.
NOMINATIONS
Nominations 7s-11s: Athletes in these age groups may nominate for up to 4 events on the nomination form found HERE. They also have an opportunity to nominate up to 2 alternative events to be considered if their first choice is full.
Zone team selection will be based on several factors including competition night results and coach input. Mosman can select a maximum of 5 participants from our club for any one 7s-11s event and final selection will be decided by the Mosman Athletics Championships Team.
Nominations 12s-17s: Athletes in these age groups can nominate for up to 6 events and athletes will be selected for every event they nominate. Athletes in this age group must self-nominate via ResultsHQ. Instructions on how to do this are found HERE.
Parent Duties
Parents/carers of athletes are required to assist with up to 2 hours of duties per athlete over the weekend. Sign up instructions will be sent once the team has been selected. If you are unable to do the required duty, please do not nominate your athlete to compete.
PROGRAM
The carnival ‘not-before’ times for track and field events are below (times might change but events on the designated days will remain). Please carefully consider your athlete’s availability and the event times and days – team selections once provided to the Zone Coordinator are final.

ADMINISTRATION CHARGE PER ATHLETE
There will be a charge per athlete to contribute to the cost of entry to the oval for all athletes and spectators, as well as Mosman Athletics coaches and administrative costs at Zone. Link to pay will be sent via email.
UNIFORM, REQUIRED PATCHES and USE OF SPIKES
All Zone athletes must wear full Mosman uniform when competing. Link to uniform page
Uniforms must have the following patches attached:
Use of spikes: All types of pyramid spikes AND Christmas tree spikes are now permitted at the Sydney Academy of Sport. For Zone you do not need to use starting blocks for a standing start in spikes. BUT if you progress to regionals all athletes using spikes MUST use starting blocks.
Progression from Zone to Region Championships
7s athletes do not progress past the Zone Championship.
8s-17s: At the Zone carnival the first six places in each final automatically progress through to Region. Then a maximum of four next best qualifiers taken from both Zone carnivals will also be taken through to our region carnival.
The first 3 places in the Relays will progress to Region level.
Any athlete who may qualify to compete at the Regional Championship but who knows they will not be available must advise the Team Manager BEFORE the end of the Zone carnival weekend.
PARENT DUTIES
Parent duty is critical to the running of this carnival and events cannot go ahead without parents carrying out the duties to run them. We really need and value your help!
There is no option to pull out of parent duty event if your athlete is withdrawn.
Please read the following info about what you need to do when volunteering at Zone.
