Community engagement

having a good connection and communication among local communities is really important and essential to develop its level and increase the people's interest. as athletics is the core game, it has good connection with local people. in the Athletics Australia Federation, there are 5 different local communications and each of them have a unique history and characters. 

Adelaide Harriers Athletics Club, Alice Springs Athletics, Armidale Athletic Club Inc., Ashgrove Rangers Athletic Club, Athletics Chilwell

most of them are well-organised with different ranges of ages and professional leaders with careers. Especially, Ashgrove Rangers Athletic Club is located in Brisbane which is close to Gold Coast the place that the Commonwealth game will be held. 

Moreover, Active After-school Communities (AASC), they provide athletics program with qualified coaches that is sponsored by Australian government and federation. it will definitely develop the quality of Australian athletics in the future. in addition, the 2018 Commonwealth game will be a good opportunity to expand this program in the school and class.
