Level 1 Officials Courses - Sunday 30 April
23 April 2017
We're lucky to have some great Technical Officials at Livingston, but it's vital for the sport that we also recruit and develop new officials.
The next UKA Level 1 officials training courses are being held by scottishathletics at Craigswood Sports Centre on Sunday 30 April.
If you've been helping the Technical Officials at club events, why not take the next step and become a qualified official?
At Level 1 you can choose to specialise in a single discipline as either a Track Judge or Field Judge. This part of the course takes place in the morning, with the Health & Safety workshop in the afternoon.
Topics Covered
Course Details
Venue: Craigswood Sports Centre, Livingston
Dates: Sunday 30 April 2017
Time: 9.30 am - 2.30 pm
Cost: £45 (paid by the club)
Booking: Please contact Alistair to book a place
Last at year at club competitions, over 50 parents helped the Technical Officials during the season, but it would be great if a few more of those helpers were qualified.
A minimum number of qualified officials are needed at competitions to meet the requirements of the UKA rules and our scottishathletics permit, and ensure that the competition results will be accepted by Power of 10.
The club also get extra points at league matches for supplying qualified officials. This can be the difference between promotion and relegation.
