The club consulted with Little Athletics NSW from 10am but had no other option but to comply with the guidelines of the state's governing body by 2pm.
"The safety of our athletes is paramount so we were forced to cancel the club night which is disappointing because we had over 100 young athletes involved," Singleton Striders coach Hilary Kennedy told the Singleton Argus yesterday.
"These aren't just kids from Singleton, they travel from across the region to attend.
"We've had to modify our training sessions the past few weeks due to the turf as well."
It marks the second time the region's little athletics community were forced to cancel a scheduled meeting due to Singleton's air quality.
Last month the Singleton District Junior Cricket Association also cancelled its third round due to hazardous conditions to the disappointment of all players.
