👟 North East Met Zone Championships 🏅

Draft Program – 2026 NEMZ Master Program DraftV1.1 26Oct2026(1)

Zone is almost here, and we’d love to see as many of our NDLAC athletes there as possible!

The North East Metropolitan Zone (NEMZ) Carnival is one of our favourite weekends of the season. There are no qualifying standards, so whether this is your child’s very first carnival or they’ve done it all before, they’re welcome. They can do one event, one day, or the whole weekend- whatever suits your family.

When and where

Friday 27 November – 3000m events only (13s+) at Ern Holmes Oval, Pennant Hills, from 6:45pm.

Saturday 28 – Sunday 29 November – All other events at Blacktown International Sports Park, from 8:30am Saturday and 8:00am Sunday.

Cost: Free! NDLAC is covering all athlete registration fees.

You can view the draft program attached. Final times will be confirmed once entries close.

Who can enter

Any NDLAC athlete aged 7–20 with a full membership. No qualifying times, heights or distances needed.

• 7s–11s: up to 4 events. Clubs can enter a maximum of 5 athletes per event in these age groups. We rarely hit that limit, but if we do, we’ll work with you so your child can still compete in as many events as possible.
• 12s–20s: up to 6 events. 16s, 17s and U20s are welcome to compete for experience, but these age groups don’t progress through to Region or State from Zone. They’ll need to enter those directly.
• Relays: We’ll select relay teams based on club performances so far and invite athletes directly. Relays are on top of your 4 or 6 individual events.

How to enter

Every athlete needs to enrol themselves in RevSport: https://www.nswathletics.org.au/events/register/377824

Entries close 11:59pm, Sunday 15th November. This deadline is set by Athletics NSW, so unfortunately we can’t extend it. Please don’t leave it to the last minute!

Parent help

Zone only works because families pitch in. Every family is asked to help with one 2-hour block over the weekend. While you’re helping run an event for kids you don’t know, other parents are doing the same for yours.

No experience needed. Duties are similar to club Saturdays and officials will guide you on the day. If you’d like to officiate, that counts as your duty. Have a chat with Cheryl or any of the Champs team. Families who don’t choose a duty will be allocated one, and athlete entries will not be confirmed until your duty is signed up.

Duty sign-up will open shortly via signup.com

Why come along?

Zone is a really special team experience. It’s an amazing opportunity to represent our club, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the kids always come home with new friends from other clubs (and usually a few PBs too!).

Please note there’s no Saturday meet at Foxglove that weekend, so Zone is your only chance to get some athletics in!

If you have any questions at all, email championships@ndlac.org.au or come and find me (Nicole), Louis or Gina at the red Coles tent on Saturdays.

Let’s make this our biggest Zone team yet!
