📣 AGE MANAGERS & AGE COACHES NEEDED! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

We are still looking for some amazing parents and carers to put their hands up and help out with our age groups for Friday night club competitions. 🖤🤍

🙌 POSITIONS STILL AVAILABLE
👧 6 Girls – Age Coaches x 2
👧 7 Girls – Age Managers x 2
👦 8 Boys – Age Manager
👦 9 Boys – Age Managers x 2
👦 10 Boys – Age Managers x 2 + Age Coaches x 2
👧 11 Girls – Age Coach
👦 11 Boys – Age Coach
👦 12 Boys – Age Managers + Age Coach
👧 13 Girls – Age Coach
👦 14 Boys – Age Manager

👟 WHAT DOES AN AGE MANAGER DO?
The Age Manager is a parent/carer who helps organise the athletes and parent helpers during our Friday night club competitions.

They work closely with the Age Coach and are responsible for recording field event results.

Don't worry if you've never done it before — we'll teach you! 😊

🎓 COACHING ROUNDS – A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN
Our coaching rounds will be held on:

📅 Friday 11 September
📅 Friday 18 September

These evenings are a great opportunity for new Age Managers to learn the role in a supportive and relaxed environment.

Our committee members and coaches will be there to:

✅ Explain how to measure field events
✅ Show you how to record results
✅ Answer any questions
✅ Support you as you learn the role

🚨 IMPORTANT
If an Age Manager has not been allocated before Friday, unfortunately that age group will not be able to participate in the coaching round.

We really don't like having to make this decision, but athletics relies heavily on our amazing parent and carer volunteers to make Friday night competitions possible.

💙 NO EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED!

If you are able to help, please put your hand up. You don't need to be an athletics expert — we'll support you every step of the way.

Being an Age Manager is a great way to get involved, support your child and become part of the Dubbo Athletics Club community. 🏃‍♀️🤍🏃‍♂️

If you can help, please let your Age Group Coordinator or a committee member know.

🙌 WE NEED OUR PARENTS — TOGETHER WE MAKE FRIDAY NIGHTS HAPPEN! 🖤🤍

🚨 NO DROP & RUN — PLEASE STAY, SUPPORT & GET INVOLVED! 🚨

As we head into the new season, we want to remind all families of an important requirement at Dubbo Athletics Club.

👨‍👩‍👧 PARENTS/GUARDIANS MUST STAY AT THE TRACK
Any athlete in the Under 16 age groups and younger must have a parent or guardian present at Barden Park while they are participating in training or competition.

👶 TINY TOTS — PARENT/GUARDIAN MUST STAY AT THE STATION

For our Tiny Tots athletes, a parent or guardian must remain with their child at their designated station at all times while they are participating.

This requirement is in place under Dubbo Athletics Club policy and NSW Athletics child safety requirements.

🖤 WHY DO PARENTS NEED TO STAY?
Having a parent or guardian available is important if there is:

• 🤕 An illness or injury
• ⚠️ A behavioural issue
• 🌧️ Training or competition being cancelled due to adverse weather
• 📞 An emergency where a parent or guardian needs to be contacted immediately

More importantly, your children love having you there! 🖤

Whether you're helping the club, volunteering at an event, or simply watching your child train and compete, your support makes a huge difference.

✍️ NEW SIGN-IN & VOLUNTEERING PROCESS
This season, each age group will have a sign-in sheet with their Age Manager.

When you arrive, parents/guardians will be required to:

✅ Sign your child in
✅ Record where you will be volunteering during the session

🚨 PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE GROUNDS

If your child is participating in competition or training without a parent/guardian present and we are unable to contact you, this creates a child safety concern.

In accordance with our Child Safe Policy (Section 4 – Child Safe Reporting Policy), the club may be required to contact the relevant authorities.

Additionally, if a parent/guardian cannot be located within the Barden Park grounds, your child will be required to sit out of participation until a parent/guardian can be located and contacted.

This is not something we want to have to enforce — we need your help to keep every child safe. 🖤🤍

🙌 WE NEED OUR PARENTS!
Dubbo Athletics Club is a community club, and our Friday nights rely on parents volunteering and getting involved.

You don't need to be an athletics expert — we'll show you what to do!

Thank you to all our families for your understanding, cooperation and continued support of Dubbo Athletics Club.

Together, we can keep our athletes safe, supported and enjoying their athletics journey. 🖤🤍

03/09/2026

We are still needing several more Age Managers and Age coaches to help out this season! An age group won't be able to run on a Friday night if we do not have parent volunteers to fill these roles!
