Parental Involvement

No experience is necessary to volunteer

It is important for the children that Little Athletics is as enjoyable as possible. It takes many people to run a full program, and we cannot do this without your help.Here is how you can help:

Volunteer to fill a key position. - Key positions are filled by permanent and rotating volunteers.

Age Group Managers-Are fundamental to the success and effortless running of not only each activity/event but help make the complete Saturday morning a fun and smooth experience. Age Group managers lead the children each week through the rotation of events. Age managers record results in Results HQ, mentor and instruct the athletes each week. Being an age group manager is a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding role. You end up becoming great friends with the kids and get to share in their PB’s and successes.

Age Group Assistants – are the parents/ carers that will be required to assist the Age manager with retrieving, raking, measuring, timing and handing out place tickets on the circular track. 

Meeting your Duty Roster Obligations – Those not filling Key Positions will be called upon to assist with field set-up, field pack-up, and Straight track timing organised by Age groups. Equipment set up allocations by age can be found on the Red/Yellow notice board located on the pavilion wall. If we have people available to help with set up/ pack up each week, we will be able to get started at the correct time and leave early.

Naturally, you will be guided in these activities so there is nothing to be concerned about when called upon to do your part. Remember – officiating should not be a chore. One of the main purposes of Little Athletics is for families to enjoy a morning together. Your children will appreciate you being there.

The following link The basics- how to complete and officiate events  is a great video to help with getting to know the fundamental basics of each event.

There are other areas that you may be able to assist our centre, if you have a specific trade or qualification, please see one of our committee members listed.
