Understanding the Summer Track & Field

The AVSL season runs from October to March, offering a variety of track and field events for athletes of all levels. Events usually take place on Saturdays.

Leagues and Divisions: Like the winter season, AVSL uses a league format. SMAC currently competes in the 5th division.

Juniors, Masters, and Open: There are competitions for juniors, open divisions, and masters athletes (40+, 50+, 60+).

How Scoring Works:

  • You can enter as many events as you’d like.
  • Your best 3 scores contribute to the club’s overall points.
  • The system handles scoring, grading, and team allocations – just focus on competing!

How to Participate

Flexibility: You choose how many meets you want to attend.

Registration: Register online with Athletics Victoria by Wednesday at noon before each Saturday event.

SMAC Guidance: We’ll provide recommendations for the best events each week, often aligning with our junior members’ participation.

Additional Summer Opportunities

Specialist Meets: Athletics Victoria organizes weekday evening meets with groups like:

  • Victorian Milers Club (middle distance)
  • High Velocity Club (sprints, jumps)
  • Rare Air Club (pole vault)
  • AV Throwers
