Introducing SEA's newest member – Little Athletics Victoria

Sports Environment Alliance (SEA) is excited to welcome Little Athletics Victoria as a member.

Anthony McIntosh, Chief Executive Officer of Little Athletics Victoria explains that Little Athletics Victoria (LAVic) has 18,000 member athletes competing at 100 clubs (‘Centres’) and conducts competition activities most weekends of the year.

“Our sport moves a lot of people around Victoria and southern NSW, consumes many goods and services, and generates waste and carbon emissions. We have a strategic imperative to reduce our environmental footprint, stay at the forefront of best environmental event practices, and join like-minded community sports in doing so.”, he said.

Anthony goes onto to explain,

“We are a traditional sport very much at the start of this journey and keen to learn from other like-minded sporting organisations how we can protect and improve the places we play for future generations, and as such Little Athletics Victoria (LAVic) is thrilled to join SEA and play our role progressing community sport towards a more environmentally sustainable future.”

In welcoming Little Athletics Victoria to SEA, Jan Fitzgerald, SEA CEO, said that she is delighted to see that LAVic is inspired to be a part of a like-minded community with a common goal, driving towards positive change.

“We know that outdoor sports like athletics are feeling the impact of a changing climate. LAVic represents a large community of athletes and their families, and we look forward to working together, to reduce our environmental impact and contribute to a better future for generations to come,” she said.

Welcome to the #SEAChange, Little Athletics Victoria!
