22.01.2022 Congratulations to our 19/20 season Joan Bolton award winner... Shanel S. Shanel was awarded this due to her consistent effort, positive attitude and encouragement. A great role model to others, well done Shanel!
21.01.2022 We would again like to thank those parents, who are continuing to help with parent duties. But there are still quite a few parents who are yet to volunteer. Please don't be afraid. Being a parent helper is not a hard job. It's all about assisting the athletes & giving them encouragement. ... As a parent helper, you may be asked to record results, measure throws/jumps, sweep the jump pits, collect shot puts/discuss/javelins & make sure the athletes are following rules & being good sports. In most age groups, there is an experienced Age Group Manager who will help guide you. In the cases where there may not be an experienced Age Group Manager, the Committee is always here to help. Being a parent helper is a close up way of following your athletes progress. You will be on the track/field, rather than watching from outside the track. So don't wait & sign up now!!! https://www.signupgenius.com//10C0D45AAAD23A2FEC16-program2 *Permanent Age Group Managers do not sign up. *If you are a Permanent Age Group Manager and will be absent from a program, please message us as soon as you know you will not be attending, so we can seek other arrangements.
