Ingle Farm Little Athletics Centre

Officiating Athletics

Officials are a key part of any sport, and Little Athletics is no different. In order for our competitions to run smoothly we need parent volunteers to help the chaperones run each event. This isn't hard to do - the chaperone can quickly run you through the rules.

For those interested in going further and becoming an accredited Official, there is more information available below. There is no requirement to officiate at State Events if you undertake these courses.
