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 club are holding a UKA Assistant Officials course at Craigswood Sports Centre on Monday 18 March.
If you've been helping the Technical Officials at club events, why not take the next step and become a qualified official?

The course is designed to enable you to work within a team to develop key skills and a basic understanding of the fundamental rules of officiating.
This course includes both practical and theory element, including:

UKA Assistant Official Requirements
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 event licenses, 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.
