Little Athletics NSW has put together a series of Basic Event Fact Sheets, aimed at providing centre volunteers with the essential knowledge for helping at an event at the local centre.
The fact sheets are a suitable resource for people with little or no knowledge of the sport and cover such things as:
- ages and correct specifications for the various age groups
- basic instruction on how to do the event
- basic rules
- basic officiating procedures
- safety considerations
- handy tips for conducting the event at centre level
You can download copies of the Fact Sheets, from http://lansw.com.au/Education-Training/Centre-Helpers/Event-Fact-Sheets events include
Starters / Starting Timekeeping Place Judging Hurdles
Javelin Long Jump Triple Jump High Jump
Whilst participating in Little Athletics, athletes should work towards the improvement of their technique in the various events. This will not only help improve their performance in Little Athletics, but the correct movement patterns will carry across to other sports and activities.
