These nights are a fun way for athletes to put their skills into practice, strive to achieve their personal best in individual events, and compete against their peers. There are six competition nights per season, and they take the place of training. Competition nights are also used to record athletes’ individual performances in all track and field events.

How competition nights run

We rotate between four programs and include both track and field events.

Time is extremely tight on competition nights, and athletes need to move quickly between events. To give everyone a chance at competing in their events, athletes will have:

  • One heat for track events,
  • Two throws for shot put or discus, and
  • Two jumps for long jumps.

Please make sure your athletes are at Balmoral Oval in plenty of time to sign-in and head off to their first event promptly by 4.15 pm (Little A’s 6s to 9s) or 5.50 pm (Juniors 10s to 14s).

THE PROGRAM

Important Notes

  • All athletes MUST have this season’s registration numbers and age patches attached for the night. We can’t record results without registration numbers.
  • Only volunteers are allowed on the oval. This applies even if you have paid the non-volunteer fee. Volunteers are expected to be actively involved.
  • Competition nights are only possible if we have 90 parent volunteers to assist with marshalling, measuring, equipment retrieval and crowd control. All volunteers must sign in at the volunteer desk on arrival and wear a Volunteers vest.
  • No spectators or dogs allowed on the oval on competition nights.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I find my results?

Competition night results will be available within a week of the competition night. To access results, log in to ResultsHQ.

No, competition nights are no more compulsory than any other night of the season. However, if your athlete wants to be considered for inter-club events, we’ll be using the first two competition nights to record times/distances that will be used to select teams.

If you miss a competition night but still would like to be considered to represent Mosman at the State Relays or the Zone Championships, just send an email to mosmanlachampionships@gmail.com. If we can, we’ll try to work out a way to ensure that your child still is considered.

We will proceed in wet weather unless the oval is closed by Mosman Council or there is a lightning storm. We will advise you of this on our Facebook page.

WEATHER POLICY

What should athletes wear/bring to competition nights?

It is COMPULSORY to wear your registration number and age patch for every competition night, otherwise we can’t record your results. Please also wear your Mosman uniform and appropriate footwear if you are in the 7s to 13s age groups. Everyone should bring water and wear sunscreen. Spikes can be worn by 11s age groups and above in laned sprint events, hurdles and jump events, but when the event is finished, they must be taken off and replaced with regular running shoes. Uniform samples are not available to try on comp nights.

UNIFORM

Yes, absolutely! Our competition nights are all about competition with oneself for self-improvement. We recognise that not everyone is interested in competition with others, and the club won’t be focusing on this – e.g. there are no finals. At the end of the season we’ll be celebrating those kids who have improved the most through the season, regardless of ability.

The pick up locations for the 6s to 11s age groups are the same as for ordinary training nights – see here. The finishing time may vary a little for age groups, depending on when they complete all of their events.
