Officials Courses – please sign-up and join our sport

Monday 9th September 2019

Bringing new volunteers into the sport as Officials is a key part of our work at scottishathletics.

And that’s why we are really keen to push forward to forthcoming courses over the next three months which could start you on your officiating journey.

Between now and the start of December, there are no fewer than five courses coming up at venues in Aberdeen, Dundee and Glasgow.

All the courses listed currently are at Level One – which means no experience is necessary.

If you’ve been involved in athletics in any way, then these course are for you . . . or indeed if you simply have a desire to volunteer in the sport and are keen to help.

As a number of our current qualified Officials explain in our video piece, being part of the scottishathletics purple and red team can be great fun and offers the chance to learn, work together and be involved in helping in the development of athletes through their careers.

The link below takes you to our list of scheduled courses for Officials and then there are individual links for the forthcoming dates and venues.
