and Field seminars 2010.doc
ACTVAC urgently needs
members to become qualified officials to help at Track and Field events during
the summer season. You can become qualified in ‘Track’, ‘Throws’, ‘Jmps’ or ‘Racewalking’ by
attending a seminar to be held in September in conjunction with the winter
‘High Noon’ meets:
5 September: ‘Track’
5 September ‘Jumps’
5 September ‘Racewalking’
19 September ‘Track’ (repeat of 5 September)
19 September ‘Throws’
19 September ‘Racewalking’
All seminars will be
conducted by Athletics Australia's ACT Education Officer. There is an initial
session of 2 – 3 hours followed by a practical session at the High Noon meet on
that day.
Participants will receive a
copy of the latest IAAF Handbook, an officiating diary and a certificate of
attendance. For those that wish to achieve an Athletics Australia
qualification, an optional examination will be available 4 weeks after the
seminar. The $20 cost per seminar will be met by ACTVAC.
Perhaps you or a family
member have been a longstanding participant and are able to contribute your
energy and expertise. Or perhaps you have previously been trained as an
official and need a little "brushing up". Or maybe you are new to
athletics. Everybody is welcome.
This is a great opportunity
to learn new skills and practice them with elite athletes at the AIS. It could
be the beginning of a pathway that could lead you to officiating at events on
the international circuit (Go Aussie!) or just helping out at the occasional
ACTVAC track night. The choice is yours.
Please consider attending
one or more of these seminars where you will get to know more about our sport, meet people and help your club ensure that Track and
Field events are held safely and competently. For questions and nominations
contact Paul Archer (secretary@actvac.com.au, phone 6281 3872)
