like to extend a warm welcome to all athletes, families and life members for season 2016-17. For those parents who are new to athletics your help on training nights is welcomed and on Saturday competition mornings is required! Remember that most of the coaches and officials who are out there were once like you and the only way to learn about the sport is to get out there. More importantly it will give you a greater understanding of what your child is talking about when he/she gets excited or on occasion upset, about his/her jump, run or throw. Not only that, should you wish to become a coach or an official we will be running an “Introduction to Coaching Course” enabling all parents to become familiar with the basics in coaching and officiating all events. LITTLE ATHLETICS IS COMPLETELY A VOLUNTEER ORGANISATION! Behind the scenes in the last 6 months the elected Committee has been working very hard to ensure all athletes and parents enjoy their experiences within our clubs and Centre. A very big thank you to all our parents that have taken on elected roles with in our clubs and Centre. Our Centre believes that perseverance, sportsmanship, and ‘personal best’ performances should be rewarded just as much as a high level of achievement. Our commitment is to make every family involved in the sport of Little Athletics feel welcome and to provide not only competition for our young athletes but also an atmosphere of family participation and enjoyment. ”Fun, Family, Fitness”. PARENT CONTRIBUTION: Please be aware that every official that you see at Kingsway is ONE of YOU: a parent VOLUNTEER. The whole event on any Saturday ONLY runs with your help. You should come to Kingsway Little Athletics Centre prepared to contribute to your children’s age group. It is impossible to hold this event each week if parents do not continue to assist at all of the sites. Please do volunteer as Kingsway needs you. Thank you in advance for making time available to help out at your club and centre. Please understand that without the enthusiastic help of all parents, Little Athletics as a family activity would not exist – a great club is formed from a great team of volunteers! Please offer your help at training sessions and competition days wherever possible – you are sure to enjoy the experience.
