Little Athletics is run by volunteers and would not be able to run\u00a0without the help of all parents.<\/p>\n
For Wantirna, each family is expected to do ‘Duty’ at least once every three to four weeks. This may vary depending on the number of families at our club. Families are given an opportunity to select their preferred dates at the start of the season. A duty roster is prepared\u00a0 and provided to families to ensure they know when they are rostered on.<\/p>\n
When you are on duty, you choose one event and stay on that one event for the meet (that day). Duty may include marshalling of athletes, recording and distributing athlete performance information, re-setting event equipment.<\/p>\n
If you are not available for duty on your allocated day, please try to contact another family to see if you can swap with one of their days. If you need assistance, please contact us\u00a0<\/a>ASAP so coverage can be arranged.<\/p>\n Availability of some families may change from week-to-week, so the dates you are rostered on may also change.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Our club is also responsible for a number of events – where the club supplies volunteer ‘Chief Officials’ to run the event on the day. For information about events, see ‘How to help at little aths<\/a>‘. If anyone is willing to be a ‘Chief’ Official’ please contact us<\/a><\/p>\n When on duty, please ensure you arrive early and sign-in by 8:15am on Saturdays, 6:45pm at Friday twilight meets and 2:45pm at Sunday twilight meets<\/strong>\u00a0with the Duty Officer near the canteen.<\/p>\n Please note:<\/strong> <\/em>Points and PBs for achievement may not be awarded to an athlete where their family does not attend duty.<\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
