Following the positive feedback received in 2018, we are delighted to once again have scottishathletics clubs at the forefront of our conference – with three clubs holding workshops on a range of topics: Central AC, North Ayrshire AC and Cumbernauld AAC.

We will also have ’round table’ discussions hosted by Guy Richardson the CEO and Founder of Eiger Performance, graffiti boards to share feedback, and more time for informal networking with other clubs creating an opportunity to discuss and tackle challenges together.

scottishathletics are also delighted to bring the Hawkins family – Robert, Derek and Callum – as special guests to the conference to share their story of their journey from club to country.

Full details including the online booking can be found by following the link to the National Club Conference booking platform. Descriptors for the workshops can be viewed below the booking link.

Calling all scottishathletics Officials!

It’s the time of year for annual gatherings again and we can confirm our Officials Conference is taking place on Sunday 20 October at Carnegie Conference Centre in Dunfermline.

This is always an important day in the calendar for our Officials and we would stress that those from all levels are invited to attend. That’s from Assistant Coach right through to Level 4 and 5.

Former BBC Scotland reporter, Rhona McLeod, is our Guest Speaker this year. Rhona was an international long jumper and is now a coach with Central AC – and has also experienced athletics as a parent.

Also giving a presentation will be a panel of Young Officials who were on duty at the Glasgow 2019 European Indoor Championships at the Emirates Arena back in March.

Learning sessions are part of the programme, too, with the workshops designed to give specific guidance and help in various areas in order to improve knowledge. Lunch is provided on the day.
