The State Combined Carnival is usually held on the first full weekend in March each year.
Athletes in the younger age groups U7 to U11 are given instruction during the event. Athletes in the U11 and younger will have the opportunity to learn ‘how to’ throw, jump etc. during the event. A more relaxed attitude to these age groups will occur with time for instruction from the officials.
Medals are awarded to the top 3 place-getters in all age groups. Athletes in the U15 age group will be vying for selection into the LANSW State Team to compete at the Australian Little Athletics Championships, which will be held in April 2022.

Performances for all events are allocated points, based on the LANSW Multi-Event point score system. The points are then added together to determine final results.

AGE GROUP MANAGERS – As usual, we required parents to act as Age Group Managers (which is similar to centre age managers) at the State Combined Carnival. Depending on numbers, there will be up to two (2) Age Group Managers per age group and gender (eg. 9 Boys Blue, 9 Girls Pink, 10 Boys Silver etc.). If no parent helper is available for the U13-U17 age groups, we do allow them to look after themselves as long as one of the competing athletes nominates themselves to look after the paperwork. If you are interested in escorting your child and their age group to their events, in the role of Age Group Managers, please read the AGE GROUP MANAGER MEMO and click HERE to nominate (coming soon!). Please note that groups without Age Group Managers (Parent helpers) will not be permitted to leave the Meeting Point areas until they have someone to act as Age Group Manager. If you require more information please contact Cheryl Webb via email at competitions@lansw.com.au.
INSTRUCTION AT EVENT AREAS (for U7-U11 athletes)
A more relaxed attitude to these younger age groups shall occur at this Combined Carnival, with time for instruction from the event officials , before and during the events. Athletes in the U7 to U11 age groups will have the opportunity to learn ‘how to’ throw, jump etc. during and before their events. Athletes in these age groups will not be permitted to leave the competition area.
It is noted that athletes in the U12 and above may utilise the coaches’ area for instruction (refer Rules of Competition, Section C General Rules, Coaches Area).
LIST OF COMPETITORS This will shows the age group and colour group allocated to each athlete plus the name of the Age Group Manager. **Please note – It may be necessary to move and existing Age Group Manager (and their child) from one group to another group to ensure each group has an Age Group Manager. Will advise all athletes/parents if this is to transpire.
Remember that athletes WILL NOT be permitted to leave the meeting point areas until their age group manager has marked them off. Thank you to all parents who have offered to act as age managers (all groups now have an age group manager).
