Athletics Australia is a group of people who love running, jumping, and throwing things really far. They work together to organize running races, track and field events, and other exciting competitions for people all around Australia.
Imagine you are playing a game outside with your friends and you're trying to run faster than everyone else. Athletics Australia is kind of like the grown-up version of that game, but they do it for fun AND to see who is the best at running, jumping, and throwing things in Australia.
They have a lot of rules and make sure everyone follows them so that everyone is safe and plays fair. Sometimes they give people medals or prizes if they do really well in a race or competition.
And just like how you need to practice a lot to get really good at your game, the athletes in Athletics Australia practice a lot too. They train to become faster, stronger, and better at running, jumping, and throwing.
Overall, Athletics Australia helps people who love running, jumping, and throwing things come together to have fun and compete, while also making sure everyone is safe and plays fair.
