About Senior Athletics

We develop both the elite and the social athlete

Little Athletics within the Gold Coast Athletics Club started almost 50 years ago and when we first imagined Gold Coast Athletics back in 2015 our vision was a holistic, long-term plan that encompassed not only the elite athlete but also the social athlete and the community at large.
The greatest asset for our athletes is the social atmosphere within Little Athletics which isn’t always present in senior athletics clubs. We wish to provide that atmosphere to all athletes regardless of age or ability.
