Age Place Awards are calculated via a point score system. Because the committee believes the emphasis should not only be on winning, a point score system was devised to recognise those children who continually improve their own performance. Points are awarded for:
- each event entered
- places in each event (1st through to 5th)
- for a personal best (PB) distance or time (within each season)
- for breaking a club record
