Committee

As a member of UK Athletics there is a requirement for the Club to have a committee.

Our Committee Members are the group of people who manage the club’s affairs and are a critical component of the club. Much of the club’s success is down to the work of the committee who exist to serve the club and to ensure that its members receive the best possible service and experiences. Committee members are individuals performing the role on a voluntary basis, juggling various commitments therefore consideration must be given to the demands associated with roles.

The committee will make decisions on behalf of the club and will take on duties to ensure everything runs smoothly. All committee members should be individually committed to: 

• Upholding the values and objectives of the club.
• Giving adequate time and energy to the duties of being a committee member.
• Attending all meetings.
• Being prepared to devote the necessary time and effort to the club.
• Showing a willingness to work collectively as part of a group.
• Participate fully in meetings, listening to what others have to say, and contributing positively to        discussions.
• Contributing to and attending the annual presentation evening and other special events throughout the year.
• Assisting with equipment / floodlight set up & clear away when required.

Coaching

Are  you keen, motivated,  enthusiastic and feel you could make a difference? Coaching can be fun and rewarding and no previous experience is necessary. You will be required to complete a short course with UK Athletics (funded by the Academy). Opportunities start by following one of two pathways:

• TRACK & FIELD begins with a coaching assistant award  which is an introduction to running, jumping, throwing and how to coach. On successful completion of this award you will have the opportunity to attend an athletics coach course which will cover physical preparation and core technical knowledge across seven events.
• OFF TRACK begins with a leadership in running fitness qualification and on successful completion of this award you will have the opportunity to attend a coach in running fitness course.

 Not quite ready to take the plunge but would still like to contribute, why not consider becoming a parent helper?

If you are interested please speak to a coach who will be able to direct you to the appropriate person for further information.

Officials

In order for athletes to compete in events clubs are required to provide officials to cover tasks that ensure the rules of athletics are enforced and adhered to.

Like to help but officiating is not for you? Parent helpers are hugely valuable and are always required at competitions. No course is necessary, all you need is a little of your time and plenty of enthusiasm.

Contact

If you are interested in volunteering in any of the areas listed or feel you are able to contribute in another way and would like to chat or find out more please speak to Matt our volunteer coordinator.

Matt will be able to advise and assist you with procedures that need to be taken should you wish to pursue the route of gaining qualifications required to become a member of the coaching or officiating team.
