Officials courses – signs-ups here

Thursday 17th January 2019

Help us help the sport!

We’re always looking to try and grow the cohort of dedicated folk who act as Officials at scottishathletics events.

And there is now a chance to take an Endurance Officials course – which includes a Risk Awareness Course.

This is Level 1 opportunity – so if you have no experience of officiating, you are very welcome to join us – and it’s happening at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow on Saturday 17 February.

Dave Cairns is the tutor on the day.

Sign-up here:

There are also track and field courses coming up for Officials early in 2019 – with still spaces remaining for those who may wish to book.

These are scheduled to take place on three Saturdays and one Sunday at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow and offer a great chance for those new to officiating to get involved.

The intention is to have the courses in the morning and a practice session at an event taking place at the Emirates in the afternoon – with that ‘practical’ counting towards the four competition experiences required for qualification.

Timekeeping: Saturday 26 January

Track: Sunday 10 February

Photofinish: Saturday 16 February

Clubs are urged to encourage more would-be Officials to come forward in order to help make athletics events happen for everyone.
