With summer approaching, the Essendon Little Athletics Centre is preparing for the start of the new track and field season.
The club, which runs athletics programs for children of all ages, will hold a registration day for new members on Saturday at the Moonee Valley Athletics Track.
Essendon spokesman David Asquith said the club often experienced higher membership numbers in years when Commonwealth or Olympic games are held, and hoped to see a similar pattern in membership numbers this year.
He said the club catered for children and youth members from under-6 to under-16, with the season to kick off on October 2.
Essendon will also run the On Track program for the under-6 age group, which uses modified athletic equipments and basic skills are taught to prepare children for regular competition.
