Parent Responsibilities

We will be allocated duties based on the number of athletes we enter in the championships. Parent s will be expected to assist for 1 to 2 hours during the day. Parents must nominate which events they wish to participate in on the entry form.

How it works

Athletes compete in a fixed program of 5 events - A throw (either shot put, discus or javelin), a jumping event (long or high), a 100m sprint, hurdles, and an 800m run.

Points are scored based on performances in individual events, not on placing's in the events.

All athletes will receive a performance certificate showing their individual results and their points score. The top three point scorers in each age group will receive medals.
