Volunteering to help on Saturdays is an essential part of athletics. It takes some 70 parents to run each Saturday.
Over the course of the season (16 event days), it’s expected that you would volunteer 8 times. Duties on Saturdays are very easy and include things such as timing runners, measuring a throw or entering results. If parents are not prepared to do duties we simply can’t register their children as it creates more work for other families.
Almost all families who sign up with us, return for the following season, so it’s never as bad as people say!!
