Track & Field Officiating Training Courses

There will be Track, Field and Race Walking officiating training course on Sunday  September 5 and/or Sunday September 19, 9.30am at the AIS Athletics Field to coincide with the final two High Noon Meets.  Each session will run for 2-3 hours and will be followed by a practical officiating session  (the High Noon Meet). A certificate of attendance and an officiating diary will be issued to all participants to  enable the achievement of a Level C  Athletics Australia qualification.   An examination for those interested in  achieving an Athletics Australia C qualification will be held four weeks after the September 19 training course. The training course cost is $20. [edit: this cost will be met by ACTVAC]. Register by contacting: Paul Archer (secretary@actvac.com.au, phone 6281 3872) It is important that club members participate in this if we are to successfully “go it alone” when we conduct championship events.
