Maximum age group capacity and waiting lists 

The Balmain Athletics Committee is concerned about the health and safety of all athletes and the level of enjoyment for each child and parent/caregiver in large groups of athletes. As a result, age groups are closed when the number of registered athletes reaches 50.

After an age group is closed, we open a waiting list. These lists are maintained until mid-December or closed when the number of athletes on the waiting list reaches 20. Athletes may be invited to register at a reduced registration fee in January (mid season). This is at the discretion of the Balmain Athletics Committee. Please be aware that all members of the Committee are volunteers, as are all our age managers. We do not maintain waiting lists prior to the opening of the summer registration period.
