The GLAC has created 3 subsets of the total range of events offered and rotates these programs throughout the season.

As a result of the large number of athletes competing in Little Athletics, it is generally necessary for all sprint races to be run in heats. Athletes are placed within a heat with others of a similar ability. This ordering may change throughout the season on the basis of performances recorded.

Results are recorded in all events and a Results Ticket, for each South Barwon athlete, is printed out and distributed by the club at the next competition.
