There may also be the opportunity for specific training for individual athletes requesting assistance with specific skills. Make your request known to the team manager as soon as possible.
Parent Assistance
No programme of Little Athletics competition can be held without the assistance of parents to act as officials. This year the club has been assigned to help at Shot Put 2 and the Back Straight Gates for the season. We will be using a roster system which ensures we provide adequate officials without the same parents helping all the time. All parents must assist when rostered, please see weekly newsletters for the roster. If you are unable to assist you must advise Val prior to competition day so we can change the roster.
