The Mission Statement of the South Australian Little Athletics Association (S.A.L.A.A.), as a voluntary community based organisation is to:

“Develop children of all abilities by promoting a positive attitude and a healthy lifestyle through a family and community involvement in athletic related activities”.

At Little Athletics, children aged from 3 to 17 years develop the basic motor skills of running, jumping, walking and throwing. Developing strength, flexibility, coordination and balance provides the basic requirements of all sports.
