Parents

Nambour Little Athletics is a non-profit athletics centre run entirely by a Committee of Volunteers.

The Committee of Nambour Little Athletics have a duty of care towards all of our registered athletes. Children cannot attend Nambour Little Athletics without a parent/guardian in attendance for the duration of the session.

This is in line with the agreement all parents/carers signed upon registering with the Centre.  Athletes will not be allowed to compete if their parents/ guardians are not in attendance for the duration of the competition.

PARENT HELP

Parent assistance is VITAL at our weekly competitions. 

Little Athletics is designed to bring the whole family together in a healthy outdoor sport and we have lots of opportunities for you to get involved and support your children with their love of athletics. On competition days you can support your athletes in a variety of ways with little or no experience.

You can learn as you go and it’s a lot of fun. Parents, carers and grandparents can help us in the following ways:

  • Set-up and pack-up the equipment
  • helping in the canteen
  • becoming an Age Marshall and recording results and measurements
  • place judging in track events
  • spiking, retrieving and measuring events such as discus, shot put and javelin
  • spiking, measuring and raking the landing pit at the long jump and triple jump events
  • helping at high jump.

We understand that just like our athletes, our parents come from a diverse range of backgrounds and as such have different talents and experience. There is a place for everyone at Little Athletics and there are a number of ways that you can become involved. You may have skills that the centre doesn’t even know they need. So if you think you can help with something, let the committee know (you’ll find us in the green shirts).
