ASAP

Athletics Skills Award Scheme

The Athletics Skills Award Program (ASAP) is a skills certificate system developed exclusively by the Little Athletics Association of NSW.

It is the recommended skill development program of Australian Little Athletics. The program, which aims to ensure that all participants are provided with the opportunity to develop confidence and competence in a wide range of general skills, and track and field events, is available for use by all Little Athletics members throughout NSW.

ASAP recognises skill development through the use of nine graded achievement levels, all of which are contained in an ASAP passbook.

The passbook can be obtained by anyone wishing to be involved in the program. As certificate items are achieved, a participant progresses through the levels, using their personal passbook to keep a record of their development.

An award level is achieved when all items within that level have been successfully completed. LAANSW- accredited ASAP examiners conduct the testing of ASAP skills.

Examiners for these awards must possess an examiner number obtained from LAANSW.

A participant can be examined at any time for items on any level, not just the level at which they are currently attempting to complete, with participants progressing through the levels at their own rate, irrespective of age.

A young person's participation in ASAP will prove a fun, rewarding experience, and ultimately lead to the development of a higher level of athletic skills.

ASAP books are available from your Little Athletics Centre

or the Little Athletics Association of NSW office

for a cost of $3.
