One of the greatest achievements of any child in any sporting activity is to be selected in a State Team.

In an effort to avoid any confusion by athletes and parents regarding the State Team, the LATas Board advise the following in relation to the 2021 State Team.

The Event

The Australian Teams Championships to be held in Melbourne in April 2021.  The team will depart Tasmania on Wednesday 21st April, returning on Sunday 25th April, with the championships being held on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th April 2021.

ELIGIBILITY

All Tasmanian Little Athletes in the U13 and U15 age groups and registered for the 2020-2021 season are eligible for selection, provided the following requirements are met:

• Athletes should demonstrate that their priorities and loyalties are with their Little Athletic Club and Centre.
