About Us

Byford Little Athletics Club was founded in August 2015. The result of many years of hard work from LAWA board member Frank Jamieson and LAWA Athlete Development Manager Abid Imam.

The Club would be founded with the view to eventually become a one club Little Athletics Centre

The final pieces of the puzzle fell into place at a meeting between Frank and 4 families at the Byford Central Pavilion when the first committee was voted in.

The inaugural committee consisted of:

  • Amy Collins – Club Chairperson
  • Lisa Thomas – Secretary
  • Sarah Nightingale Smith – Club Manager
  • Erica Bevis – Treasurer
  • David Bevis – Marketing, Publicity and Sponsorship

Frank Jamieson maintained an advisory role until resigning from the LAWA board of management and coming onto the committee as Head Coach.

Since our inception we have grown to become one of the largest Little Athletics clubs competing at the Dale Little Athletics Centre.

As part of the Club Growth Plan, the Byford Little Athletics Club will become a Little Athletics Centre targeted to launch in the near future.
