Join the Action: Become a Track and Field Official!

Dear all

Our track and field competitions are only made possible thanks to the dedication of volunteers, people like you who care about athletics. We’re currently looking for enthusiastic individuals to step forward as officials and help make these events a success.

No prior experience? No problem! We provide training to ensure you feel confident in your role. Whether you’re passionate about sports, eager to learn new skills, or simply want to give back to the community, we would love to have you on board.

Too busy? No problem! Start small by helping at one of the upcoming competitions and take it from there. A pool of many allows us to make a real difference together. Our club has had a reputation for the quality of its official team; well known in the region for their friendliness and competence. Let’s keep this reputation alive.

A parent or athlete. Us too! Over the coming days and weeks, we’ll post personal stories from some of our existing officials (hint: normal busy people like you) to help de-mystify the subject and inspire you to give it a go.

The options will include field judging, timekeeping, track judging and starter’s assistants – see link for full options below. If you can help, please contact Carol Wright at [email protected] or Steve Green at [email protected] to indicate your interest. We need you.

We are running a C&C trial for young athletes on Sunday, 23rd March, which would be an ideal time to come along and try it out.

Regards,

Carol Wright and Steve Green
