Our parent duty roster for season 2019/20 is detailed below.

Little athletics cannot run without your support and assistance. All children perform so much better with parental encouragement and support.

Anyone can help in some way, e.g., by holding a tape, raking the sand in a sandpit, putting the high jump bar back in place, retrieving the discus, recording results and many more.  All parents are expected to take turns in helping run our weekly activities.

Parents will also be rostered to assist with specific duties on a particular date throughout the season.
