The Junior Lightning Carnivals are held at the Year 7, 8, and 9 levels and involve modified winter sports. Schools have shown a tendency to involve their full cohort groups for the Year 7-9 carnivals. However, if a school chooses to involve a portion of that group, participation is still highly encouraged. All options carry the same responsibilities with regard to staffing and supervision.
The 2023 Lightning carnivals dates are:
Year 7 | Monday 8th May 2023
Year 8/9 | Tuesday 9th May 2023
Sports that are currently offered at the lightning carnivals include:
Boys: Soccer, Football (AFL), Rugby Union, Basketball

Mixed: Touch, Frisbee
