We Support
We’re excited to announce that nominations are now open for the 2026 NSW Open & Little Athletics Championships!
Each year this championship brings together some of the state’s most talented young athletes and behind every great performance is an amazing team of officials. We would love for you to be part of the action!
The following officiating roles will be available:
Please note: Due to the high level of interest in previous years, there will be a strict closing date for nominations. Any nominations received after 6:00pm, 27th of January, 2026 will not be accepted, so we encourage you to submit your nomination early to avoid missing out.
All appointed officials will be notified via email, with appointments also published on the NSW Athletics website and Social Scheduler.
If you’re keen to officiate but your child is competing, simply select ‘Yes’ on the nomination form — we’ll work with you closer to the event to help accommodate your schedule. Half-day availability is also very welcome.
