— OUR STORY —
Club History
Ormeau Little Athletics has been part of the local community for 11 years, giving Ormeau kids a place to run, jump, throw, and make friends every season. Like many community clubs, our full early history lives in the memories of the families and volunteers who built it — and we're still piecing that story together.
This page is a work in progress. If you were part of the club in its early days — as a member, parent, coach, or committee volunteer — we'd love to hear from you. Old photos, stories, or corrections are always welcome at committee@ormeaulittleathletics.org
