πββοΈ OFFICIALS TRAINING AFTERNOONS πββοΈ
Learn more. Get confident. Share the load.
Ever wondered how an event actually works? π€
Want to understand the rules a little better?
Or simply feel more confident helping out at your club or Zone events?
These sessions are for YOU! π
Central Coast Zone Athletics is running a series of relaxed Officials Training Afternoons and weβd love to see people from across our clubs getting involved.
And before you think βBut I don't want to be an official every weekend!β β you don't have to! π
π This is about expanding your knowledge, learning how events work and giving you the confidence to lend a hand when you can.
Athletics is run by volunteers, and many hands make light work β and shorter shifts! π
π WHO IS IT FOR?
Anyone aged 14+ who would like to learn more about officiating and different events.
You don't need any previous experience and there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, have a go and learn in a relaxed environment.
π‘ For our 14-18 year-olds: At actual competitions, anyone aged 14-18 would be paired with an experienced official, so you'll never be expected to do it alone.
