2. Core safety or injury prevention: Items to ensure safe participation of athletes, officials and volunteers (e.g. first aid kit, defibrillator, shade marquees, portable discus nets, barriers).
3. Modified equipment: Purchase of modified equipment to facilitate the participation of athletes with a disability or beginners (e.g. step hurdles, vortex, Tiny Tots equipment, bean bags, training discuses, soft shot puts).
4. Volunteer support: Equipment to support volunteers to run the regular Little Athletics program more efficiently and effectively (e.g. Timing gates, rakes, speakers and microphones, line marker, trolleys, storage boxes).
