Weather Policy

The health and wellbeing of all athletes, officials and volunteers is a priority issue for Hallet Cove Little Athletics Centre.

Extremes of weather can have an adverse affect on participants of events, particulary extreme heat.

As such, Hallett Cove Little Athletics Centre has endorsed a Heat Policy and a Sun Smart Policy to ensure the safety of all involved in Little Athletics. These policies and other guidelines can be viewed by following the links below:

The following applies to all Friday Night meets held at Hallett Cove:

If the temperature at 5:00pm as announced on FM102.3, AM 5AA or on the Bureau of Meteorology website is 37° or above, then the Little Athletics meeting will be cancelled.
For wet weather we will attempt to hold a meet, although some events will be cancelled for safety reasons, such as high jump and hurdles.

The following weather policy applies to State Association Events

If the temperature as forecast by the Bureau of Meteorology at 11:30am on the day BEFORE the event is over 36 degrees, the event ill be subject to a alternative hot weather program. Hot weather programs are issued for each Association event.
The hot weather program will continue to apply even if a subsequent forecast revises the temperature down.
Depending on the conditions on the day, some events (e.g distance runs) may be cancelled.
