Parents/Guardians are expected to actively participate in the operation of our club by assisting in the running of events at our regular competitions. 

Athletics involves many events running at the same time, and this cannot take place without parent/guardian assistance. Please be aware of this when signing your child up to athletics.

It is anticipated that you would be required to help out every 2-3 weeks (depending on athlete numbers) to ensure we have enough assistance to run our events. Being involved will give you a greater understanding of the rules and event techniques which will help your child develop and increase their enjoyment of the sport. Tasks are easy and we'll show you what to do.

Tasks may include:

• Measuring, returning throwing implements, raking sand pit, writing down results
• Assisting age managers in coordinating children (help them take turns, line them up for a race etc)
• Helping with time keeping (place judging, timing, writing down times)
• Set up / pack up
• Canteen help
