Yarra Ranges Athletics is welcoming back members to the summer track and field where week one produced a perfect spring morning.
The fantastic facilities on offer for both track and field were inundated by more than 200 boys and girls aged between five and 16 years.
A highlight was the many kids who took advantage of the two free trials to make sure they like it.
Going by the looks on their faces organisers think they will make Yarra Ranges Athletics their home.
The walks were first up and these events resulted in two centre records, to Tammarah Brown and Claire Noonan.
These fantastic performances continued on through the morning with another record to Chelsea Thompson over 100 metres.
Other highlights were watching the younger athletes learning and trying new skills such as discus, shotput and the jumps.
All these new skills are the basis for most other sports because running, jumping and throwing are incorporated, meaning that athletics is a great place to establish core motor skills.
Yarra Ranges Athletics is inviting anyone who would like to take part to email yarrarangesathletics@org.au.
