Uniforms

Uniform is compulsory at our Saturday morning competitions (as per Athletics West guidelines). 

In the 2026/27 season, our athletes will still have the option of wearing either our old Little Athletics uniform or the current Albany Athletics Club uniform: 

• Albany Little Athletics Club uniform: Black shorts and Little Aths club singlet or tee.  
• Albany Athletics Club uniform: Black shorts/briefs and Albany Aths club singlet, tee or crop top.

IMPORTANT: This is the last season that the Little Aths uniform will be allowed. We have limited stock left – available at a 50% discount in our online store. Purchasing this uniform could be a good option if you're unsure if your little athlete will continue in future years.  

You can purchase uniforms when completing your registration. Alternatively, you can order online or come and see us on a Saturday morning at the club. 

Competition bibs

Upon registration, all athletes will be assigned a unique Bib number. Please sew this to the front of the singlet/t-shirt. This year, Athletics West is assigning ALL athletes one Bib number, regardless of age groups they are participating in.

Spikes

As per Athletics West rules, spikes are only permitted in these age groups:

• U12-U13 age group: Can wear spike shoes in events run entirely in lanes, long jump, triple jump, high jump, and javelin.
• U14+ age groups: Can wear spike shoes in all track events except walks. Spike shoes may also be worn for long jump, triple jump, high jump, and javelin.

On the grass track in Albany, spikes can be up to 9mm long. Just note that Perth and Bunbury tracks have different rules (e.g. the Perth blue track only permits up to 7mm for track events, and the spikes must be Pyramid or Christmas Tree shape). It's always a good idea to check venues before competing.

Lastly, don’t forget hats, sunscreen and water bottles (and jumpers, if needed!).
